Changing everything

Art can, sometimes, change everything.

It can show you, for a moment, waves as heavy as marble.

Richard Long, Marble 

It makes you see what is not there.

James Turrel, Afrum Red

It shows you what was there when nothing existed.

Robert Smithson, Spiral Jetty

Art can cut in two what you believed indestructible.

Gordon Matta Clark, The Split House

It hides what was there, begging you to start looking at it

Christo and Jean Claude, The Pont Neuf Wrapped

or brings back to life what has passed away.

Juan Garaizabal, Urban Memories in Lisbon

It makes you fly.

Leandro Erlich, The Tower

It turns you into water.

Maider López, Dunafelfedes

It opens an abyss where you thought you could lean on.

Michael Heizar, Double Negative

It turns upside down what you thought was fixed.

Dennis Oppenheim, Device to Root Out Evil

It spends hours with what doesn´t exist.

Andy Goldsworthy, Rowan Leaves and Hole

It shows you what you have no time to see

Jim Denevan

or changes what is out of our reach.

Walter de María, Lighting Fields

All that is Art. Not all Art, but Art.
