In writing, the expression "double space" is used to define the maximum standard distance between two lines in a text. Poetically, though, the term is rich in ambiguities due to the intrinsic power of the words "double" and "space." Double Space explores the ideas related to space in text, the architectural properties of writing, and the concept of text as a construction.
Artists: L.A. Angelmaker, Devon Dikeou, Kenneth Goldsmith, Jorge Pardo, Alain Resnais, Alain Robbe-Grillet, Fred Sandback, Carolee Schneeman, Lily van der Stokker

Define: Context presents the work of six Colombian artists whose work reflects on the problems associated with the reception of a work of art in the absence of a "proper" context.
