THE DAILY LIFE AND POPULAR EXPRESSION OF MILENA MÚZQUIZ IN TRAVESÍA CUATRO

Travesía Cuatro hosts at its Madrid headquarters Surf and Turf, the fifth exhibition that the gallery dedicates to Milena Múzquiz (Tijuana, Mexico, 1972), that gathers, with about thirty works, the continuity of the production that began after the aesthetic and technical change produced by the end of Los Súper Elegantes, a musical group that he shared with the Argentine Martiniano López Crozet, and which represented a platform that brought together his purest expression through voice and body, as well as with the aesthetic possibilities of costumes and image.

THE NARCO-HYPOPOTAMUSES’ TALE, BY CAMILO RESTREPO

The double problem that arose from the acquisition in the 1980s of several hippopotamuses in one of the many eccentricities of the trafficker Pablo Escóbar is the starting point of a fable that, between the tragic and the comic, Camilo Restrepo (Medellín, Colombia, 1975) has managed to weave with a very successful graphic and conceptual narrative. With Cocaine Hippos Sweat Blood, the spectator faces this surrealistic story from its beginnings to the present by the hand of a figurativism that sets aside the academic and the technical for the sake of a greater aesthetic and relational concordance with that of the madness transmitted by the story itself.

LUCIO FONTANA. IL Y A BIEN EU UN FUTUR - UN FUTURO C'É STATO

Lucio Fontana made one of the most extraordinary and radical gestures of modern art in 1958 when he cut the surface of a monochromatic canvas with a razor blade. The exhibition “Il y a eu un futur- Un Futuro c'é stato” at the Musée Soulage, Rodez, revisits the legacy of this artist and offers a survey of his entire oeuvre, before and after the war, in Argentina and Italy.

HYBRID IDENTITY AND SOCIETY IN STARSKY BRINES

The powerful painting of Starsky Brines (Caracas, Venezuela, 1977) has in his most recent production the consolidation of one of the most intense expressions of the Latin American panorama. Collected under the accurate epigraph of Paisajes imposibles (Impossible Landscapes), the exhibition invites the spectator to let himself be impacted and submerged in a world as unreal and dreamlike as it is sometimes grotesque. These adjectives, more typical of the symptomatology of the society that underlies each of the Venezuelan's pictorial interpretations, seem to originate in the different angles that converge in Brines' universe.

MAGOLA MORENO AND JOSÉ VIVENES: REPRESENTATIONS OF A POSSIBLE BLACKNESS

If the history of art is, to a certain extent, "the history of the complex infrastructure generated by the development of relations between artists and economic power" (López Zumelzu, 2020), when we are faced with works that subvert the canons established by tradition -and still belong to it- we may ask ourselves, how can we operate from within this framework to question the policies that constitute and decide what is made visible, and what is consequently made invisible?

THE URGENT BESTIARY OF ROBERT NAVA

Standing before the expressive forcefulness of Mexican-American Robert Nava (East Chicago, USA, 1985) can be risky. At first glance, the primitivism in the technique used in his canvases is shocking in the conversion of the strength of the stroke and the basics of the gesture into a language that agglutinates a brute force. Perhaps for that reason, the usual tendency of those who face his work is to quickly pigeonhole it out of the academic, out of that refinement that is presupposed -although less and less- to those who fill the room of a museum, to let themselves be carried away by the urgency of expression in front of that pretended good taste.

HACKING PERCEPTION

The experience proposed by Martina Servio Olavide is composed of two parts, one that invokes dying and the other, as an organic counterpoint, living. The first, "dying", is represented by a non-naturalistic play, while the second, "living", manifests itself as an exhibition in an art gallery. Through these two dimensions, the artist challenges the viewer to question their understanding of self and others, and to explore a wide range of interpretations.
