Latinoamérica: volver al futuro

06 April 2018 - 03 March 2019

MACBA (Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Buenos Aires) / Buenos Aires, Argentina

Julien Masvernat, Sin título, 2012. Cortesía del Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Buenos Aires.

Latinoamérica: volver al futuro recorre una topografía de conexiones insospechadas entre los proyectos modernizadores regionales y las prácticas artísticas contemporáneas. Desde las obras concretas de la década de 1950 hasta las relecturas de aquel legado en el presente, la muestra articula un vasto umbral geográfico y temporal en el que emergen un conjunto de supervivencias y retornos que hacen estallar cualquier concepción lineal del transcurrir temporal.

El itinerario de obras propuesto aborda problemáticas como la refundación de los lenguajes de la visualidad, la reconfiguración de los entornos urbanos, las nuevas concepciones del tiempo y el espacio o la generación de imágenes como emblemas de proyectos utópicos de transformación de la cotidianeidad.

Curaduría: Federico Baeza
