In "Pierre Menard, Author of the Quixote" (1939), Jorge Luis Borges tells the fictional and unbelievable story of the title character that, by rewriting line by line, word for word, the famous book of Cervantes, wrote a version of "almost infinitely more rich" than the old one. The operation of Menard is given not by the creation of an object itself, but by straightening symbolic of something already existing previously. On the one hand, sets an opinion about the object and its history, while on the other, gives it significance, current and future different from the original. Under the penalty of Menard, or rather, Borges, Cervantes the Quixote - the Knight of the Woeful Countenance, after read romances of chivalry, decides to go around the world following  fantasies that do not match to reality – transfigures without leaving traces. Goes on to tell us a story invisible in which juxtapose object and meaning, in a way that the first becomes, somehow, only the material correlate of the speculative process that has set up the second.

It is from the critical reconfiguration proposed by Borges, the notions of value and history subjacent the narrative, that this exhibition aims to provide a reflection on how speculation, projects and expectations act influentially on both the future as about the present and past in the economic, political, social and artistic /cultural fields.

The different artistic proposals of this exhibition articulate, each one in its way, various aspects of these issues. On the whole, delineate a complex scene in which are figured and analyzed procedures of symbolic rectification and evaluative, projects formulation, construction of identity, economic speculation and conceptual, formal appropriation and re-articulation, among others. Moreover, without losing sight of the context experienced by Brazil currently - considering, for example, its insertion and growth in the global political and economic scenario, the discovery and exploitation of the Pre-Salt and choice to host the Olympic Games (2016) and the World Cup (2014) - the exhibition presents various documents, offering to the public a more understandable ballast to the critical content, sometimes only tacit, of the works. Magazines, posters, newspapers and works establish, thus, a constant dialogue between themselves, outlining a poetic vision and critical overview of the current historical-political-social panorama.
