"Germinal" brings together a series by Mexican multimedia artist Carlos Amorales (born 1970) that stem from an alphabet invented by the artist. Ranging from posters, books and newspapers to sculpture and video, these works occupy a midzone between image and sign.

This great universe consists of a circular journey in which the totality of things are the cause and effect of themselves. The work to date of Carlos Amorales (Mexico City, 1970) has been an interesting convergence of formal and conceptual tropes and strategies. He works with finesse and aplomb in numerous genres, including performance, video, sculpture, photography, and works on paper, and is one of the most interesting Mexican artists of the post-Gabriel Orozco generation. He has held solo exhibitions at the Kunsthalle Fridericianum (Kassel), the Cabaret Voltaire (Zurich), the Contemporary Arts Center (Cincinnati), the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Irish Museum of Modern Art (Dublin) and the Daros-Latinoamerica Foundation (Zurich), among other venues.
