Fear Nothing, She Says. When Art Reveals Mystic Truths, on view from November 18, 2015 to February 28, 2016 in Valladolid, is accompanied by a bilingual catalogue (Spanish-English) published by Acción Cultural Española (AC/E) and Ediciones Anómalas under the direction of Rosa Martínez. In the catalogue, readers will find reflections on Teresa of Avila and on art as a spiritual path, as expressed in the images of the works by the participating artists and in the essays by María Bolaños, director of the Museo Nacional de Escultura, the historian Giuliana Di Febo, the psychoanalyst and writer Julia Kristeva, and the curator of the show, Rosa Martínez.
Organised in connection with the 5th Centenary of the Birth of Saint Teresa of Jesus, the aim of this exhibition is to explore the meaning of spiritual searches at the onset of the third millennium, establishing the need to find their common anthropological thread and endorsing their connection with creative languages. The exhibition title revises the verse by Teresa of Jesus, transforming 'Let nothing perturb you, nothing frighten you,' into the simpler 'fear nothing', which it relates to the novel Détruire, dit-elle by Marguerite Duras.
