The aim of The three dimensions of don Quixote Don Quixote and contemporary spanish art is by its very nature innovative: to invite twenty practicing Spanish artists, of different ages - and, therefore, from different schools and techniques - to produce a new work inspired in a given element or extract of Cervantes' immortal novel.

In accepting the challenge they are breaking the boundaries of meagre illustration, in an attempt to fix in three dimensions the incredible world of suggestions which Miguel de Cervantes describes to us in his most famous and universal novel.
