Descripción de la Exposición
The exhibition Táctica Sintáctica subverts museum rules to provide a prominent space for the body. Artworks are scattered in the rooms, some partly hidden, others can only be viewed when visitors are willing to squat, climb or kneel down: a true playground for visitors. For this exhibition, artist Diego Bianchi and poet and curator Mariano Mayer, transform a selection of art works from the Museo CA2M Collection and the ARCO Foundation Collection (Spain). The selection includes work by David Hockney, Julia Spínola, Bruce Talamon, Dan Flavin, Zoe Leonard, Dora García, Jimmie Durham, Günther Förg, Joachim Koester, and many others. With Bianchi’s own works added, a new strategy (táctica) of loose ends (sintáctica) comes into existence. By reframing the collections, they also displace the identity and sensuality of the bodies around them. Táctica Sintáctica thus invites visitors to move and play to discover infinite perspectives. The radical question is: what movements and identities are hidden and reflected in art exhibitions? And what does the body want?
Diego Bianchi and Mariano Mayer: “It all started as a game. We wanted to build an entire landscape of works within a museum. One composed of heterodox elements, rising high and piled on top of each other, able to serve as a critique of the clinicality and neutrality in which works of art are exhibited. Just like other objects, artworks embody a moment in time; they teach us to think with our hands. Our eyes allow us to discover the distance that exists between our body and what we want to touch. They have nothing to do with our visual enjoyment; they merely measure how far from or close to whatever we want to touch we are.”
