Opening of the exhibition Señal abierta: lenguajes del arte actual

On Thursday, August 21, we inaugurate a new MAMM Collection exhibition that challenges us to reimagine the ways of naming current art. We invite you to explore this exhibition and to broaden your concepts about contemporary creation.

Señal abierta: lenguajes del arte actual

Inspired by the Diccionario de Arte Actual (1985) by Leonel Estrada, this exhibition explores and reinvents the ways of naming art. It brings together works that move between the document, the record, and the art piece, based on a new reading of documentary archives, publications, press, installation essays, and writing practices.

Curated by: Ediciones Réplica (Arturo Salazar and José Ruíz).

Artists: Adolfo Bernal, Álvaro Herazo, Ana Claudia Múnera, Antonio Caro, Armando Londoño, Armando Montoya, Beatriz González, Beatriz Jaramillo, Becky Mayer, Bernardo Salcedo, Bill Viola, Bridget Godfrey , Camilo Moreno, Carlos Echeverry, Carlos Gómez, Carlos Rojas, CAYC, Clemencia Lucena, Débora Arango, Diego Barbosa, Don Little, Edith Arbeláez, Eduardo Posada, Enrique Álvarez, Efraín Arrieta, Ethel Gilmour, Eugenio Dittborn, Félix Ángel, Fernell Franco, Gego, Germán Martínez, Gertjian, Bartelsman, Gloria Patricia Orrego, Gustavo Sorzano, Heidi Klein, Ida Esbra, Javier Betancourt, Javier Cruz, John Jairo Correa, Jonier Marín, Jorge Ortiz, José Alejandro Restrepo, Juan Camilo Uribe, Juan Carlos Restrepo, Juan Luis Mesa, Julián Posada, Julie Clucas, Liliana Porter, Lope Max Díaz, Lotty Rosenfeld, Luz Elena Castro, Margarita Paksa, Margarita Tamayo, María Teresa Cano, Mariano González, Mario Hernández, Mantilla, Marta Elena Vélez, Marta Minujín, Maryluz Álvarez, Mathias Goeritz, Michal Shabtay, Miguel Ángel Noya, Natalia Restrepo, Ofelia Rodríguez, Omaira Abadía, Óscar Monsalve, Otto Apuy, Patricia Bonilla, Raúl Marroquín, Ramiro Gómez, Rolando Peña, Rosa Navarro, Sergio Trujillo Dávila, Silvia Patiño, Tina Samper, Ulises Carrión
