Cultural recommendation for the weekend

Exhibition “1961. The expansion of the arts”

expansion of the arts

“But how and when did the new theoretical and artistic path begin? This exhibition is established as a deliberately unknown and anonymous temporary marker to know the point at which the expanded arts of these years were first glimpsed. It is also postulated as a temporary marker. Likewise, it examines the origins of change, the experimental activity and the first collective activities that marked the beginning of an unprecedented expansion of the notion of composition and generated a multidisciplinary project that was developed in real time in the course of that same year. A rich, complex and diverse artistic era in which the foundations are established for new approaches to creation, experimentation, composition and the search for other models of artistic practices, authorship and the generation of alternative distribution and expression networks.”
