The typography was designed in EMAÚS workshops by Fray Gabriel Chavez de la Mora (1929-2022), who was a student of Goeritz at the Guadalajara University School of Architecture. Kautz critically broadens the legacy of Mathias Goeritz by referring to his "Metachromatic Messages" to merge through written quotes with the typography by de la Mora, of the spirituality of gold and its financial speculation as assets, establishing a synergy between rationality and desire, between faith and pragmatism, between art-object and this as merchandise governed by the art market.Exhibitions
