Works by 19 Latin American artists at the Tolima Art Museum

Since last Friday, the Tolima Art Museum has exhibited works by nineteen Latin American artists in its halls. Visit these exhibits and discover their diverse languages and surprising messages!

Museums spread knowledge, through them we get closer to the history and culture of a region or country, they help promote the arts, education, research and tourism, for this and other reasons, more and more people are looking for a connection with different artistic languages.
The MAT has been characterized by having a renewed and fresh exhibition program for the community; on this occasion, and for the months of July and August, it presents “Entropic Disseminations”, “Visual Poetics, Concrete Art and Latin American Minimalism” and “Spores”.
Venezuelan artist Federico Ovalles (1972) presents works made of materials such as cement, wood, jute and basketry in the exhibition Entropic Disseminations. He creates assemblage pieces and installations that reference architecture in a fragile or provisional way. “I am interested in working with divergent ideas between the triumphs and failures of Latin American modernity and its consequences, expressed in those areas of the current city that function as a “non-city” and in contrast with the architectural majesty of great works that built the modern Latin American city of the mid-twentieth century.”

In the exhibition “Visual Poetics Concrete Art and Latin American Minimalism”, curated by Francisco Arévalo, 17 artists take us to understand their visions and concerns about the aesthetics and visual communication of these movements present in the development of Colombian and Latin American art since the mid-twentieth century. Here we also find a dialogue between the historical artists of Concrete Art and Op Art with several figures considered part of Latin American conceptual art such as Johanna Calle, Beatriz Grau and Andrés Michelena, who, in this context, reveal a deep visual and theoretical relationship with the production of the 50s to the 80s.
The program closes with “Esporas” by the Colombian artist Manuela Echeverri, curated by the master Miguel González. In this exhibition you will find large-format works made in charcoal in which the artist captures the faces of boys and girls who are part of populations settled in Cartagena, Tumaco, Necoclí and Amazonas. Manuela proposes a reflection on Colombian identity and cultural diversity, reflecting through her pieces the reality of the country and the social commitment that characterizes her work.
