This proposal by Nicolás Paris takes apart the traditional model of art exhibition and creates a laboratory conceived to encourage us to observe, question and enter into dialogue. The artist considers the exhibition as an intermediate point in a research process, and therefore sees it as a place in which to continue experimenting, creating and transforming ideas collectively. With this in mind, he has conceived an environment with specific architectural forms designed to stimulate the participation of the viewer in a series of learning experiences. His intention is to make this a place that is open to the lightning strike of the unexpected, and consequently proposes exercises that pay special attention to learning and artistic processes, both of which move in the field of the unknown, the extraordinary and the surprising.

The starting point for this project is the work entitled Dialogue, Rumour, Light, Hours or (Prototype for Pedagogical Material) by Nicolás Paris, recently acquired by the "la Caixa" Contemporary Art Collection and presented along with other works in the collection chosen by the artist himself. Thus, objects, drawings and images form a microcosm conceived for observing and recognising natural everyday phenomena, some of which are so subtle that we hardly attach any importance to them, albeit they generate events that are connected with our experience of the world.
