Placing different contexts alongside one another, the exhibition aims to offer alternative views on the recent past by allowing multiple social and cultural voices to speak to one another.

Comment (0)Jean-Marie Straub y Danièle Huillet: hacer la revolución es volver a colocar en su sitio cosas muy antiguas pero olvidadas (2016) [Spanish]
Filed under catalogue | Tags: · cinema, film, film criticism, film theory
“Primera monografía en español dedicada al cine de Jean-Marie Straub y Danièle Huillet, editada con motivo de la retrospectiva completa que el Museo dedicara a ambos cineastas en 2016. El libro es un proyecto complementario pero autónomo al ciclo y se concibe como una caja de herramientas para aproximarse desde diferentes perspectivas a un proyecto fílmico tan radical y exigente como el de Straub-Huillet. De esta manera, la crítica de Serge Daney se cita con el ensayo filosófico de Jacques Rancière y el análisis del paisaje de Santos Zunzunegui convive con la mirada a la historia de Jean Narboni. El estudio de los títulos de Manuel Ramos y una amplia entrevista cierran el libro. Complementan el volumen dos documentos de Glauber Rocha y Peter Handke, un epílogo de Pedro Costa y la filmografía completa en castellano.”
Autores: Manuel Asín, Chema González, Glauber Rocha, Serge Daney, Jean Narboni, Peter Handke, Jacques Rancière, Santos Zunzunegui, Manuel Ramos Martínez y François Albera.

Tarsila do Amaral (2009) [EN, ES]
Filed under catalogue | Tags: · anthropophagy, art, art history, avant-garde, brazil, cubism, painting
“Tarsila do Amaral (1886-1973) is one of the major figures of the Latin American vanguard and the symbol of Brazilian Modernism. Exotic, sophisticated and cosmopolitan, she spent two intensive periods in Paris, where she completed what she called the ‘military service’ of Cubism and fed on European avant-garde currents, like a civilized anthropophagite. Upon returning to her country, the digestion of that banquet and her rediscovery of the colors and shapes of her childhood spent in the Brazilian interior would, around 1920, give rise to the most dazzling epoch of her painting.
This catalogue approaches the artist from the remote past of her country, supplemented by the works and writings of her contemporaries as well as essays by experts on her painting.”
