After his participation in Documenta X (“Cassettes pour Kassel”) and a recent exhibition in a Parisian gallery (“Castelli, les Jardineries du Sud”), Raymond Hains is showing new work inspired by his travels around the Iberian Peninsula. This “hypnagogic” show (to use the Surrealists’ term, which applies particularly to Hains’s first works from the late ’40s) was organized at the invitation of the Fundação de Serralves and has provided Hains the opportunity to revisit some of his old pieces and display them with his recent photographic works. The catalogue includes texts by Catherine Bompuis, the curator of the exhibition, and Marc Dachy.
