Macondo Will Come to Life in a Cold Bogota (First Part) Fortunately, Macondo is not a place but a mood that allows you to see what you want to see and to see it the way you want to see it. This is how Garcia Marquez described Macondo when he was asked what Macondo is. This is also what the organisers of the Bogota Book Fair understood Macondo is. They decided to bring to life the world that the Colombian Nobel Prize winner created. Macondo is this year’s guest of honour at the Bogota Book Fair. As if Macondo were a real country, there will be a 3,000 square metres exhibition centre only dedicated to it. What’s Macondo? That was the question that three well known curators had to solve in order to prepare the exhibition. The solution they posed was to take into account some of the quotes by Garcia Marquez, especially those related to his book “One Hundred Years of Solitude”. They wanted to create an exhibition that had more than the known and cliché yellow butterflies. They planned on creating an atmosphere that would remind the visitors at the fair of the Colombian Caribbean Coast, where Garcia Marquez was born.

What’s Macondo? That was the question that three well known curators had to solve in order to prepare the exhibition. The solution they proposed was to take into account some of the quotes by Garcia Marquez, especially those related to his book “One Hundred Years of Solitude”. They wanted to create an exhibition that had more than the known and cliché yellow butterflies. They planned on creating an atmosphere that would remind the visitors of the fair at/on the Colombian Caribbean Coast, where Garcia Marquez was born.

I have not heard the cliche <em>yellow butterflies    </em>/  I would say "dedicated only" the adverb placement here is after the verb though grammatically it could come before, if you want to be native put it after

Pose- i think you should say propose but maybe pose has another sense I am missing
