The exhibition has been divided into five conceptual sections:

1. Codes: Here you can see the work of artists who use language, codes and symbols to create a new way to communicate their ideas which often causes confusion and challenges the status quo as far as the rules are concerned. Some of the artists: Naia del Castillo, Tete Alvarez, Jaume Plensa…

2. Scenes: Relationship with the environment, new habitats… basically, alternative scenes where we can find artists such as architects Ana Mir and Emili Padros, and designers Vasava, Xoan Anleo, Martin Ruiz de Azua…

3. Pretense: a fictitious world that feeds largely off of advertising and consumer items. Artists: Alicia Framis, El Perro, Joan Morey, Maider Lopez…

4. Surface: Logos, typography, fashion, video-games, cinema… Art is looking for new ways to manifest itself. Participants: Miguel Angel Gaueca, Ana Laura Alaez, Chus Garcia Fraile…

5. Innocence: Mixing innocence with perversion, but always with a touch of humour. Among those selected are: Nuria Marques, Hertor Serrano, Carles Congost, Bene Bergado…

Anything that means breaking the rules and creating new codes is worthwhile, at the end of the day that’s what makes art, music, architecture, fashion, and ultimately all disciplines related to creation, evolve. For this reason, this exhibition which has been produced for this new museum in Vigo, in the north of Spain, may be a good chance to take a look at the art of the future and get inspired to carry on creating and researching. The future belongs to the unruly.
