Marlborough Madrid presents the exhibition “RAYUELA / El Orden Falso”, which brings together 14 Latin American visual artists who approach or are inspired by the complex universe of Julio Cortázar's iconic novel to commemorate the 60th anniversary of its publication. This exhibition, curated by Octavio Zaya, is both a tribute to those 60 years of “Hopscotch” and an opportunity to examine and analyze how this group of artists imagine their works, approach or are inspired by an already classic literary work to literature in Spanish.

As in the case of Cortázar's counter-novel, the artists address different themes and relationships, situations and styles, such as love, the absurdity of existence, literature, language, politics, autobiography, interior monologue, discontinuity, displacement, the game or the days of the year. Several of them have made works expressly for the exhibition, others are presented to the public for the first time. And, as in “Hopscotch”, there is no main nucleus, an essence as an intrinsic or indispensable quality that characterizes the exhibition, nor an example that maintains the fundamental properties of the exhibition. “We walked without looking for each other, but knowing that we were walking to find ourselves”, Cortázar would say. What stands out here is the fusion of its forms -or its aforms- with the diversity and contradictions of the world represented as change, as a game and puzzle. La Maga, one of the main characters in “Rayuela”, said that “false order... conceals chaos”.
