	:: MUSEO XUL SOLAR ::
		Xul was not unfamiliar with the work of the prison, and there actually exists evidence that he helped to build a wall on the premises.
		Xul wrote the preface, which, in the end, was not published for lack of a translator.
		Xul considered Spanish to be an imperfect language and he explained the need to further the search for a simpler way of communication among peoples.

	Borges Center - Beatriz Sarlo: Fantastic invention and cultural nationality - The University of Iowa (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Xul Solar offers a composite profile: avant-gardiste Janus, he produced, as early as 1915 (when painting in Argentina was mostly post-Impressionism, pompier symbolism or late realism à la Courbet), the subtly figurative designs of his water-colors; and, a few years later, the abstract space where floated imaginary creatures among hieroglyphs and inscriptions of esoteric origin.
		Xul worked on both directions: he invented 'neocriollo' that intended to be a panamerican language based on Latin roots and local expressions; and he also invented 'panlengua', one of the hundreds of Esperanto-like creations, very typical of the period, based on a simple syntax and an additive method of word-building.
		The ideological materials that Xul Solar turned into the subject of his painting claim to be considered as the gist of his inspiration; however, as it is the case with Mondrian or Kandinsky, the strong syntactic organization of the painted surface justly demands at least as much attention.

	Section 2
		Xul Solar was a pseudonym for Alejandro Schultz Solari--Xul from Schultz, Solar from Solari; Xul was born in Buenos Aires in 1887, twelve years before Borges, of parents who had recently immigrated to Argentina, his father (Schultz) from Lithuania, his mother (Solari) from Italy.
		Nonetheless, Xul's work veers toward the abstraction that Roh was opposing when he coined the term "magical realism," and this is what we would expect from an artist favored by Borges, for Xul's work too avoids the specificity of objects, and proposes rather to consider their universality.
		Xul's world is everywhere and nowhere; it is the symbol of the universe on a miniature plane.

	:: MUSEO XUL SOLAR ::
		Xul Solar's lived, until his death in 1963, in the largest one.
		The rebuilding and the enlargement project, was conceived interpreting the peculiar pictorial cosmovison of Xul Solar, re-creating in the principal gallery the main features of the very special heart of a Buenos Aires city block.
		The big walls which limit the plot are painted with colours evoking the ones used by Xul Solar in his urban and architectural works, and are a good complement by the blue "porteño" sky.

		Solar created more than a dozen languages —the most accomplished of which were “neo-Creole” and “Panlingua”— a universal board game —the “panchess”— a modified piano that can be seen at the current show, and even some imaginary “anatomical reforms and new entities”.
		Xul Solar’s oeuvre is minor, but it possesses a rich, warm and lustrous chromatism and a peculiar transparency; it appeals to us, principally, with a profusion of signs and symbols of a wide cultural provenance.
		Perhaps Xul Solar’s jump from anonymity to stardom has been somewhat too sudden; perhaps there is a risk of overpraising not as much the human figure as the artist.

		Xul Solar: an identity that is the result of an ingenious play on the sounds of this artist’s real name, Óscar Alejandro Schulz Solari.
		He argues that European recognition means legitimisation; he describes the traits of this new art; he declares this art to be foundational to their own artistic evolution, as liberating and a cause of change; he criticises the local environment and defines Pettoruti and himself as “dissidents”, adding to the process of building an alternative aesthetic.
		As an independent artist, Xul contributed to inventing a tradition of alternative artists that was very significant in the cultural circles of Buenos Aires in the 1920’s, a period marked by the complex consolidation of an artistic field.

	Xul Solar on Language as Unity
		Xul solar happened to be a very curious man who studied Buddhism, the Jewish Cabbala, philosophy, anthropology, astrology and the duodecimal system.
		Solar’s theory on languages and the use of language within his paintings was heavily influenced by the Cabalists who represented the world and universe as God by using numbers, letters and their interrelations (Solar).
		Solar’s buildings often multiplied and became smaller the further away they were in order to give an impression the never-ending, distant and remote concept that we label infinity.

		Xul said of himself: "I am maestro of a writing no one reads yet" and "I am world champion of a game no one knows." But Jorge Luis Borges, who was influenced by him, said: "Xul took on the task of reforming the universe, of proposing on this earth a different order.
		Xul was born in Buenos Aires on December 14th, l887, to immigrant parents.
		It is as if Xul had fast forwarded to a liberated and evolved era, where there are no frontiers or fundamentalisms and where everyone communicates through logic and poetry in a Pan Language of Latin roots and suffixes/prefixes from every language, according to necessity.

		The paintings reflect Solar's study of music, astrology, language and writing, and world religions, and are rendered in a unique style that incorporates flat backgrounds, geometrized figures, and image-word collages.
		As part of his architectural inquiry in the 1950s, Solar created plans for new religious and social spaces, which were meant to accommodate modern people with updated patterns of worship and interaction.

		Xul Solar, born Alejandro Schulz Solari in 1887 to parents of Latvian and Italian descent, was educated in Buenos Aires as both a musician and architect.
		Most significantly, Solar created two new written languages, which were intended both to express what he could not express in ordinary language and to be something “simultaneously universal and uniquely American.” Many of Solar’s own words appear in the paintings themselves.

		The residence itself is upstairs and is closed to visitors, but there are plans to open it as part of the exhibition in late 2006.
		The museum is home mostly to Solar’s weird and wonderful watercolors (about 100 pieces) but also includes some sculpture, sketches, and the coolest piano in the world – worth stopping by for and a steal at the price.

	EPC/Douglas Messerli on Argentine Magazine "XUL"
		The Argentine magazine XUL began publishing, with Jorge Santiago Perednik as editor, in the beginning of the 1980s, at the height of the mad military dictatorship that killed thousands of individuals.
		Like the American "Language" poets, the XUL writers sought in the purposeful complexity and density of words a way to resist the failed language of seemingly "transparent" statements of both sides, of both the victims and the victimizers – which as the editor points out, were interdependent for their existence.
		Writing in their fourth issue, a collective of XUL poets argued that their goal was to "translate." "To translate is to work in one language from another.

		The most celebrated is "Jefa," a 1923 watercolor of a woman's head, adorned with cat's whiskers and surrounded by arcane symbols, that critics regard as the culmination of an especially fecund period of the artist's 50-year career.
