MACBA shows a utopian future
The sample “Latin America: Back to the Future” can be seen in the Museum of Contemporary Art of Buenos Aires (Avenida San Juan 328) until March 2019. Coffice by Federico Baeza, gathers works from more than 70 artists from 1940 to the present. Explore a topography of unsuspected connections between modernizing projects and contemporary artistic practices in the region.
With its room design as atypical as paintings displayed in the middle of the room and paintings of which it is possible to see the reverse, the exhibition cites the inquiries of Bo Bardi in the Museum of Art of San Pablo, that he carried out between the decades of 1950 Y 1970.
While “Utopian and dystopian futures”, in the second basement, encompasses the scenarios imagined by artists, like cities or states, in its possible materialities, and the axis “The image as an emblem”, in the first subsoil, refers to the aesthetic sphere in general, as a central agent to re-link art and life.
Works by Sergio Avello are also included, the kinetic works of Martha Boto, of the Cuban collective Los Carpinteros, by the Venezuelan Carlos Cruz Diez, Enio Iommi del escultor, of the duo that make up the Kaplan couple & Branching, by the teacher Gyula Kosice and the artist Guillermo Kuitca.
As well, the artists Silvina Lacarra, Stephanie Landesmann, Lux Linder, Raúl Lozza, Marie Orensanz, Gilda Picabea, Rogelio Polesello, Mariela Scafati, Pablo Siquier, Juan Sorrentino, Jesus Rafael Soto, Analia Segal, Julián Terán, Ana Tiscornia and Osías Yanov participate in this exhibition.
