On the fortieth anniversary of its founding, and as an exercise in institutional archaeology, the MAMM presents an interpretation of that seminal exhibition. This interpretation aims to recognize the values that gave rise to the MAMM’s exhibition program (contemporary relevance, flexibility, and connection to history), as well as the people who participated in it: artists, curators, friends of the Museum, and, especially, curator Alberto Sierra.
This somewhat imprecise re-mounting of the inaugural exhibition is an exploration of the ideas, interests, and exhibition practices of both Sierra and the nascent Museum of Modern Art. It may even differ significantly from the original exhibition. Nevertheless, we have attempted to understand and convey the essence of “Art in Antioquia and the 1970s”: the participating artists, the spirit of the works included in that exhibition, the museographic relationship between some of them, and, above all, the importance of Antioquian art in the history of this Museum.
The MAMM was founded in 1978 but its first headquarters was inaugurated on April 22, 1980. This year marks the 40th anniversary of the Museum’s founding with a series of commemorative activities, including this interpretation of the first exhibition held in its own headquarters, in the Carlos E. Restrepo neighborhood.
