Perú - Present Continuous Series (Exhibition online)

A retrospective view of contemporary Peruvian art with any memory to it would speak of it how it gathered force in the 1970s and ‘80s, in the wake of the Tlatelolco massacre in Mexico and France’s May ‘68. A year in which the horizon for political utopia at first sight seem to vanish. A consolidation that appears, as in the second phase of the Cold War (1947-1989), through new forms of conduct and practices derived from an earlier moment. An era which, in Latin America and in Peru, rouses a contradictory impulse halfway between euphoria, withdrawal and a persistent siding with utopia.
