On January 15, the LZ46 program of Freijo Gallery hosts the presentation of the TEXT [NO TEXT] catalogue, a catalogue which was the result of the exhibition dedicated to artist's books and publications which form part of the Polytechnic University of Valencia's collection, which recently took place in La Nau Cultural Centre at the University of Valencia between November 2019 and January 2020.
