Pino, Andrea González and Eva Geist; the spatial design by Blanca G. Terán and the textual essays by Marta Echaves, José Begega and the curator herself. The visual design of the identity and the associated publication is by José Duarte.

The spatial design of room E of La Casa Encendida was conceived with the ironic gesture of reversing the orientation of an ecclesiastical space, a receptacle of morals that is always oriented towards the Holy Land, thus configuring a series of lines in the plan that are arranged like an inverted Latin cross, a satanic cross or a cross of evil. The materials used in this design are the result of research carried out by the artist, architect and designer Blanca G. Terán. Terán in conversation with the curator on the 'materials of evil', or what the English critic Mark Fisher would describe as Gothic materialisms, in the specific context of construction and speculation in shopping centres, exhibition halls or domestic spaces. Thus, materials and qualities such as plasterboard or gotelé coexist in a spatial design that, in turn, perverts the fiction of the institutional "showroom" container. According to Blanca G. Terán, "plasterboard is cheap, it is an artifice, an imitation of the norm, a white cube, the rise of the working class, the monopoly of the local construction industry and property speculation, corruption, Spain. It is also used for blind and closed routes in exhibition spaces, it is the first choice for works and reforms in our territory: institutions, homes, shopping centres, bus stations, bathrooms, archaeological museums... plasterboard covers what was already there. The proposal works with two sides of the plasterboard: one that leaves the panels unplastered and unpainted, and the other, the exposed side of the partition, i.e. the metal structure and the back of the panel, finished with a projected stippled finish, another "local evil".
