Indissoluble / 2017 / Cosmo Caixa, Barcelona / Indissoluble + Inmedulla + W. Hinzen + T. Martín (curators) / Barcelona / A graphic design collaboration with the Indissoluble team to create an identity for the exhibition. Language considered from a biological aspect, bearing in mind its evolution and historical, scientific and philological development, was the inspiration for constructing a masthead-logotype in constant mutation.

Ajoblanco. La revista

Ruptura, contestación y vitalismo

Centro Cultural Conde Duque, Acex / 2014 / Valentín Roma (curator) / Madrid / «[This exhibition] is an exhaustive thematic survey of the entire history of the publication, recovering material hitherto unpublished or difficult access, features, documents and meaningful lines of research, along with accounts and texts written by many of those who were involved in the venture. The intentions of the exhibition are, on the one hand, to revisit Ajoblanco in the present in order to explore its main contributions and contextualise them and, on the other, to passionately delve into that dissident, libertarian and roguish desire to experience culture, ideas and personal and collective changes.» Valentín Roma. (Excerpt from the brochure.) / Designed in collaboration with Manuel Cuyàs and Claudia Parra.
