Tales-on is a project that emerges from a desire to create a non-profit multilateral platform aimed at developing cultural research on artistic and anthropological experiences in several territories of the southern hemisphere. The project was curated by Marco Milán and it is developed through a call to several artists and intellectuals that together create and speculate about a specific theme in order to generate a record of thoughts and creations inspired by the most relevant contemporary affairs. The project results in books, exhibitions, site-specific projects and meetings in which art and society, through visual and narrative elements, successfully establish a dialog that creates nurturing spaces for ideas and actions that are freely accessible. Tales-on is a contemporary version of Café sur la Rive Gauche, those places that promote cultural life through the integration of languages and disciplines. The platform was conceived and supported by Café Bistrot, in Italy, which has backed the project throughout its development and has become an integral part of its goal to promote a speculative philosophy and showcase the voices of earlier marginal authors. Centered on the theme of "error," the curatorial proposal includes the participation of five visual artists and five writers. The result of this collaboration between prominent representatives of the local cultural scene is an artist's book, an edition of 500 copies offered at no cost in institutions around the world. The authors that collaborated in the project are: artists Mateo López, Bernardo Ortiz, Nicolás Paris-Vélez, Daniel Salamanca and Daniel Santiago Salguero; and writers Óscar Collazos, Guillermo Linero-Montes, Efraín Medina-Reyes, Robert H. Marlowe and Juan Manuel Roca. In Barranquilla, the book was presented from January 29 to February 1, along with the installation of five concrete portals that transmitted the voices of the artists who, to complete their creative process, read the text of a particularly important European book. The portals will be donated to the city along with the book as a way of consummating the idea of cultural dissemination.
