An Extended Night to inaugurate the exhibition by Karen Lamassonne
A day with free admission to strengthen the connection with art and cinema
Art offers us the possibility of expanding our vision of the world, while connecting with human sensibility through the perspectives of the artists we welcome into our galleries. On Friday, July 28, we will open a new exhibition. During this session, which joins the traditional Extended Night, visitors will be able to access with free admission between 6 and 10 p.m. to discover the work of Colombian-American artist Karen Lamassonne, in addition to visiting the other exhibitions in our galleries.
A free-admission session to explore multiple artistic manifestations and be surprised by the proposal of this artist, a pioneer of video art in Colombia, who takes us on a journey from personal experiences in her relationship with the domestic, intimacy, and the female figure, to her relationship with cinema and the Grupo de Cali, a group of filmmakers who heralded the New Latin American Cinema in the 1970s and 1980s and had a lasting influence on the country’s film production.

Ruido / Noise is the first international show of the work of Colombian-American artist Karen Lamassonne, produced by the Museo de Arte Moderno de Medellin in collaboration with Swiss Institute in New York and KW in Berlin. The exhibition presents for the first time together a selection of paintings, drawings, collages, and videos created by the artist from 1974 to the present, as part of MAMM’s effort to promote internationally Colombian women artists who have been transgressive in their respective eras and contexts.
The curation of this show at the Museum was led by Emiliano Valdes, Chief Curator, and Ana Ruiz, Jr. Curator. This exhibition features Terra and the Ministry of Culture of Colombia as major partners, as well as the support of the Fundacion Sofia Perez de Soto and the Embassy of the United States in Colombia
