Listen "Online Workshop "Curating Dematerialisation: The Archivo Juan Acha as Curatorial Object", with Joaquín Barriendos (full version)"
Episode Synopsis
The aim of the workshop is to discuss the forms of circulation and exhibition of documents/objects related to Latin American conceptualist art and non-objectual art of the 1960s and 1970s. For this, we will take as a starting point the exhibition "Juan Acha. Revolutionary Awakening", which was exhibited at the University Museum of Contemporary Art of Mexico (MUAC) in 2017. In addition to reviewing the category 'dematerialisation', we will consider the usefulness of other concepts such as 'artistic documentation' and 'site-specific document'. From these, we will talk about the division between work and document and reflect on what is at stake when we are preserving, rebuilding or exhibiting non-objectual art.
