Como en un meta-relato del Salón, cuatro artistas hicieron las veces de taitas a quienes, como a chamanes, les atribuimos la capacidad de modificar la realidad del Salón y la percepción colectiva de este. Restaurar la armonía entre el mundo del arte y su público era una de las consignas que subyacían bajo el título de Saber desconocer. La invitación era a no tener miedo, a atreverse a no saber, a hacer preguntas, a ahondar en lo que se desconoce, a complejizar el mundo físico e intelectual. As a sort of meta-account of the Salon, four artists took on the role of taitas (indigenous shamans), insofar as we acknowledged their power to modify the reality of the Salon and its collective perception. To revive the encounter between the world of art and its public was one of the slogans implicit in the title, Saber desconocer. It was an invitation to the public to shed their fears, dare to admit their ignorance, ask questions, penetrate into what they do not know and own up to the complexity of their physical and intellectual world.
