'It is only true what happens every three hundred nights'

“Only what happens every three hundred nights is true” is a project that questions some of the devices that are both structure and transmission between the realm of enunciation and the empirical, between words and things. Thus, the works of Andrés García Vidal, Cristina Mejías, Mercedes Pimiento and the Alegría y Piñero collective, focus on the consistency and generation of discourses, their flow, rhythm and dominance, as well as on the effects of power-to-do-there, the social collective and the bodies that make it up.

The title of the exhibition is taken from “Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius”, a story published by Borges in 1940 in which he details various aspects of the planet Tlön. In this imaginary region, idealism is common sense and science as a discipline does not exist. Also, the metaphysicians of this planet judge that this branch of philosophy belongs to the field of fantastic literature and its work is not the search for truth. In Tlön, perception is what governs the existence of bodies and they only live while they are perceived. Its devices, those that make something thinkable and those that give rise to truth, are different. And the truth only happens every three hundred nights. As Borges advances in the story, our idea of ​​reality is broken. And little by little, the world of Tlön parasitizes it, and, in contact with it, some of the devices that structure our existence, such as language and history, disintegrate. Soon the world will be Tlön.
