Until September 25th, Fundación Proa presents Systems, Actions and Processes. 1965–1975, an exhibition curated by Rodrigo Alonso with more than a hundred drawings, paintings, sculptures, videos, photographs, documents and records of performances and artistic actions from a key historical period characterized by explosive creativity, intense political fervor and a redefined role of art in society. The exhibition addresses the wide and diverse range of artistic practices of that time. In words of the curator, the show explores the emergence of the notion of “system” and the way it took over the center of thought, “boosting a renewed interest in formal as well as political analysis that led many artists to reflect on both the discursive mechanisms of their activity and the functioning of society,” giving rise to a reaction “against the overestimation of gesture and subjectivity”. The works exhibited belong to La Colección Jumex (Mexico), the Museum of Contemporary Art, Barcelona (MACBA) and several private collections, and include pieces by Dan Graham, Carl Andre, Mel Bochner, John Baldessari, Horacio Zabala, Cildo Meireles, Juan Carlos Romero, David Lamelas, Leandro Katz and Nicolás García Uriburu, among others. The exhibition catalog includes texts never published before, academic writings and manifestos, as well as the Latin-American view on the issue, with contributions by Lucy Lippard, Lawrence Alloway, Hélio Oiticica, Roy Ascott, Andrea Giunta and Oscar Masotta, among others. Systems, Actions and Processes. 1965–1975 is supported by Tenaris / Techint.
