For his notebook, Mexican artist Abraham Cruzvillegas has compiled excerpts and notations from his personal sketchbook, as well as associative photographs. Cruzvillegas playfully picks up notions of sense, sensibility, reason, and fantasy-the four basic terms of the "human mind and soul" on which Johann Wolfgang von Goethe built his chromatic circle of 1809-and combines them with handwritten thoughts about the structural and creative aspects of artistic production.

Abraham Cruzvillegas (*1968) is a member of the International Taoist Tai Chi Society; he lives and works Mexico City.
