PLURAL DOMAINS: AN EXHIBITION WITH SELECTED PIECES FROM THE CISNEROS FONTANALS ART FOUNDATION’S COLLECTION
The Museo de Arte de Zapopan presents selected works from the Cisneros Fontanals Art Foundation (CIFO) to explore -and question- the ways contemporary Latin American art and its main exponents are conceived.
In a quest to achieve a faithful representation of what contemporary Latin American art means today, Jesús Fuenmayor, the curator in charge of the exhibition, asks himself: What is contemporary Latin American art? Who are its exponents? What is the role of collecting in this field?
The exhibition brings to light the old dichotomies about what it used to mean: tradition vs. revolution; localism vs. universalism; figurativism vs. abstraction; political vs. apolitical; public or private, among others. The goal is to challenge binarism and find new answers each artist's proposal.
"It is very likely that if we look in each of the works in this exhibition some trait that identifies them with a Latin American identity, we have very hard work ahead of us. But if we understand that their contribution has been to configure a space for dialogue and plural reflection, we will be able to find in each one of them the dominant imperatives not only in Latin America but in our contemporaneity," says Jesus Fuenmayor.
