"I Speak, Knowing It's Not about Speaking",* the first exhibition in the 2nd edition of the COMISART programme, is a project that explores forms of linguistic agency activated through materiality and emotions.

Curated by Juan Canela, it includes works by Abraham Cruzvillegas, Dora García, Asier Mendizabal, Matt Mullican and Jonathan Monk from the "la Caixa" Collection of Contemporary Art; and features pieces by Isidoro Valcárcel Medina, Falke Pisano, Eduardo Chillida, Susana Solano, Felix Gonzalez-Torres and Ryan Gander from the MACBA Collection.
