Situaciones En Suma
The exhibition took the National University of Colombia’s Art Museum as a meeting hall, artist’s studio, workshop location, and exhibition venue. The title “Situaciones en suma” (Accumulating situations) describes the evolving nature of the works shown, and the contingent nature of their final assembly stage. Over the course of 3 months, a group of 24 artists took over the museum in a site-specific, process-based interaction with their peers and architecture.
As a result, the exhibition gave more relevance to the interaction between materialities and shared symbolism between artists and their creative processes than to individual, secluded works, creating an experience continuum throughout the three galleries and the two gardens of the museum.
