Museum of Contemporary Art Helga de Alvear

This exhibition centered on light as a main foundational aspect of the visibility of the artistic. It gathered together a total of 74 works of art by 40 artists. Light –either as a stylistic feature or as a real material used in the work– was the thread running through this exhibition that focussed on artistic output of the 1980’s and 90’s in a wide variety of media. Light has been the subject of a great range of approaches: atmosphere, reverberation, inner matter, manipulated or invented matter, natural or artificial, an instrument with which to see a phantasmic human body, an instrument for the perceptive alteration of space, as well as a condenser of time, are just a few of the interpretations of light contained in pieces from the Collection and which could be seen at this exhibition.
