Catalogue Note
"In Venezuela, we have some artists whose creations in the Kinetic field have overcome the silence, such as, for example: the aluminum materials of Alejandro Otero, the penetrable nylons of Jesús Soto, the chromed rods of Carlos Cruz-Diez and the ribbed cardboard of Francisco Salazar. Four kinetics that with their aesthetic fabulation have given artistic vitality to utilitarian products resulting from the most modern techniques. The world of art will have to remember their names. " Alfredo Boulton, Caracas, January 1976
