A partir de los lazos de cooperación y solidaridad latinoamericana en los años sesenta, esta exposición explora la revolución, las transformaciones en el arte y la vida, mediante las preguntas por la liberación y lo común y sus nuevas aceleraciones vividas hoy, en el campo de las disidencias en la ecología, la
educación y el sexo-género. Observando dos tiempos, pasado y presente, la exposición reúne por una parte, un conjunto de obras de artistas que participaron abierta y críticamente de las discusiones sobre los caminos y medios para hacer la revolución en los años sesenta. Por otra parte, la muestra repasa nuevas lecturas de libros, exposiciones y lemas de aquella época, con alto valor original y de escaso conocimiento, a partir de la recreación contemporánea de sus documentos (fotografías, sonidos y escritos), con el fin de brindar un encuentro vigente en el presente.
Son más de 20 obras que cruzan diversas técnicas -cómic, afiche político, pintura, instalación, textil comunitario, entre otras-, y que han sido creadas desde 1968 al 2021.
Con la alusión al día lunes –y su inevitable asociación al inicio de la jornada laboral– esta exposición busca derrotar inercias abriendo el diálogo con un programa vivo y crítico con invitados, activistas, artistas, colectivos y talleristas.
From the Latin American cooperation and solidarity of the 1960’s, this exhibition explores the revolution and the transformations in art and life through questions about liberation, the common and its new and current accelerations, in the disagreements on ecology, education and sex-gender. Observing both past and present, this exhibition brings together, on the one hand, a set of works by artists who participated openly and critically in the discussions about how the revolution should be achieved in the 1960’s. On the other hand, the exhibition brings a new perspective of books, exhibitions and slogans of that time, with high original value and little knowledge, based on the contemporary recreation of their documents (photographs, sounds and writings) in order to provide a new encounter in the present.
There are more than 20 works across different techniques – comic, political poster, painting, installation and community textile, among others -, created between 1968 and 2021.
Through its allusion to Monday –and its inevitable association to the beginning of the working week–, this exhibition seeks to defeat inertias by opening a dialogue with a lively and critical program with guests, activists, artists, groups and workshops.
