Pensar todo de nuevo

Book publishe to accompany the exhibit. To Think Everything over again", a research project by Andrea Giunta, which is offered as a reflection and a new gaze at the times in which we live, in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and social, preventive and compulsory isolation. Through a selection of emblematic works of strong symbolic and historical weight, by distinguished artists represented by the gallery and guests, Andrea Giuntawho has investigated the scope of feminism in the artistic fieldmanages to shed a light on the current situation through this perspective, and the echo of latent meanings in works of art made in other contexts, revealing to us a new perception of reality, with the possibility of thinking and reformulating the world and the ways in which we live. In a time of isolation that forces us to remain within our homes, the domestic associated with the feminine, is activated as a space that delimits a new order and administration of time, of resources, of affections, of a new political economy of life; ways of living in which human relations are reformulated in the private and public spheres. Faced with models and systems promoted by patriarchal states, new dynamics and strategies are opening up in the order of the sensible.To Think Everything over againinvites us to think from an experience that intervenes on the affections and on the desire for a new distribution of human relations, symbolic relations, relations with animals and nature. [] To review the excluded and the hidden, the relationships with life, with absence, with the closeness and distance of affections with the new forms of daily life and the State. [] In this scenario feminism emerges to observe global change, contemporary notions of community, the crisis of anthropocentric models and of human exceptionalism. Feminism understood as the articulator of new hermeneutical toolsʺ.[1] Under this premise, each object, each photograph, each film proposed in this exhibition, generates a magnetized field that comes into friction with that which it approaches, producing areas of contact between the works that expand before the urgent questions of the present. In light of the perception of emptiness left by a stopped world, and the house as a renewed space of experiences, works that were thought at different times, in other contexts, take on new meanings It is about delving and stirring in the archives what we did not see, approaching them from new contexts and different inquiries, discovering latent meanings, warnings, intermittent dialogues they are all materials from which to think what other forms of the world are possibleʺ. [2] The exhibition is composed of an essay that is developed through thematic and conceptual axes, creating contact zones between the works to give new life to the affective and political field of the images. These axes or chapters are: I. Policies of the Body; II. Forms that administer the body; III. Affects; IV. Memories that are present; V. Urban signs & VI Bodies and nature. The chosen artists for this project come from the Latin American and Caribbean region, including women and men artists who have addressed feminism and issues related to this line of thought.
