presents
Inti Guerrero
On Tuesday 23 April, 7pm at Spring workshop, curator Inti Guerrero talks about the curatorial work behind a series of acclaimed exhibitions he developed as the Associate Artistic Director of TEOR/éTica, a not-for-profit space, founded in 1999 in Costa Rica.
TEOR/éTica. Re-imagining an institution through curating two case studies on architecture and fascism in the tropics.
The exhibitions featured in this talk & screening night are:
“Edificio Metálico” (included in Artforum’s Best of 2012 issue) is based on a prefabricated building that was shipped from Belgium to Central America in the 19th century. An exhibition where works by Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster and experimental short films by Syrian director Ossama Mohammed are placed together with manifestations of pop culture, including excerpts from a concert of the White Stripes in an opera house located in the heart of the Amazon.
“Men Amongst the Ruins” departs from a monument of fascist iconography, in which a German eagle meets a Mayan-Aztec pyramid. The show explores the symbolic implications of this structure by addressing the ways in which ideological radicalization is expressed today in various contexts of the world. It presents works by a range of artists including gay cult film director Bruce LaBruce and Hong Kong based Leung Chi Wo.
