Short description: The Weight of the Words is about the influence of the words in contemporary art, the relation between words and visual arts both widely understood. The exhibition brings together artworks which have a close relation to literature or all kind of sources that use words to communicate meanings, for example, how words appear as a visual resource in the works, how literature and the books themselves have influenced or have been the origin of visual works, or on the contrary how words have lost their meanings to be only a visual form and so on. This exhibition is the resulting of an open call and thought to be online in stuffinablank.com, an internet based platform conceived to hold online exhibitions.
