Sublevaciones

"Uprising" is a transdisciplinary exposition about collective emotions and political events insofar as they involve mass movements in struggle. It is then about the social disorders, the political agitations, the insubordinations, the revolts, the agitations and the revolutions, of all kinds held at MUAC 24 de febrero al 29 de julio 2018. The project is based on a historical and theoretical work that Georges Didi-Huberman (France 1953), philosopher and historian of art, who has been doing for years, mainly through the series of books entitled L'oeil de l'histoire (The Eye of History), that in their last deliveries face the question by the representation of the towns in the aesthetic and political sense of the word representation. The figure of the uprising is presented through more than 250 works including manuscripts, documents, paintings, drawings, prints, photographs and films, to show how artists have addressed these issues at different historical moments. The exhibition route follows a sensitive and intuitive path in which the view can be focused on concrete examples across five areas: Elements (unchained); Gestures (intense); Words (exclaimed); Conflicts (lit); and Desires (indestructible).
