Goen, from Japanese language, refers to bond, connection, affinity.
“In GOEN, artists Natalia Blanch and Erica Naito explore the confluence of the self and the foreign from an ‘other place’. Encouraged by the idea of building a long-distance connection, they communicate through postal mail through drawings, paintings, photographs, weaving, and embroidery. Erica from Argentina and Natalia from Belgium exchange works monthly, forming a process that has lasted three years and has generated a coming-and-going of letters and works. [...] Claudia G. Aguilera, curator, excerpt from the exhibition's publication Presagio de un encuentro (Omen for an encounter)
