About the exhibition
In 1972, the term “non-objectualism” appeared for the first time in the public sphere. The Peruvian critic Juan Acha, who had self-exiled in Mexico City since late April, published in November one of his columns in the cultural supplement Diorama of the newspaper Excelsior, giving light to the idea of the non-objectual. Since his last years in Peru, he had been trying to point out the changes in the visual arts following a process of radicalization that sought to break the structures of modernity within the artistic and social reality of Latin America. This attempt to define a complex amalgam of experiences — which at the time were grouped under the sign of the avant-garde — was the starting point for the appearances of non-objectualism throughout the decade to occur in a modulation with different debates on the regional art scene.
