Escuelismo

Description:

A new exhibition that shows the formative influence of primary school in contemporary local art. The central hypothesis of the book "Escuelismo" by researcher Ricardo Martin-Crosa (published in 1978 in the gallery Artemultiple) was the inspirational guide for the curatorial script. The exhibition brings together a collection of close to 60 pieces (drawings, paintings, photographs, videos, objects and installations) that represent the imaginary link of contemporary art to manual crafts created at school (from Kindergarten to 6th grade) and the tension created between individuality and "togetherness" characteristic of the school years. The catalogue includes pieces by more than 40 artists such as Liliana Porter, Guillermo Kuitca, Jorge Macchi, Elba Bairon, Nushi Muntaabsky, Alberto Passolini, Beto De Volder, Leo Battistelli and Feliciano Centuri, amongst other key representative artists of the decades of the 1980's and 1990's along with works by Latin American Artists Gabriel Acevedo Velarde (b. Peru, lives in Mexico) and Alejandra de la Puente (b. Mexico 1968).
