The exhibition brings together works and projects that have marked the Colombian art scene through their inclusion in major exhibitions or events in the country, or, conversely, that are characteristic of the artists’ production or that somehow summarize their interests, their explorations, and their working methods. Seeking to avoid essentialization and simplification, the group of works defies conventional categories and surprises expectations: some are very well-known, but there are also projects that may have gone slightly unnoticed by both critics and the general public.
The selection is dominated by installation works, along with video productions and performance pieces, confirming the social and political context as one of the major concerns of the Colombian art scene in recent decades. However, other themes also emerge, such as gender, the specific context of art and culture in general, and the built environment, architecture, and the city as triggers for projects that clearly depart from the techniques still prevalent in the 20th century, such as painting and even drawing.
PAST TIME FUTURE. Art in Colombia in the 21st Century is an opportunity to explore the most recent Colombian artistic production and to learn firsthand about the guiding lights that have shaped it. The exhibition seeks to present a series of moments, ideas, and gestures that reflect the vitality of the Colombian art scene and the complexity of the context in which it exists.
