March 31, 2022
๐๐๐๐๐๐ก๐ ๐ฃ๐ข๐ฅ๐ง๐๐ฅ: ๐ข๐ง๐๐๐ฅ ๐ฆ๐๐ง๐จ๐๐ง๐๐ข๐ก๐ฆ, the latest El Museo del Barrioโs publication is now available. The book centers on the eponymous exhibition featuring the works of Liliana Porter organized by SCAD in 2017, and subsequently presented at El Museo in 2018.
The book retrospective includes references to Porterโs vintage works such as her ๐๐ฏ๐ต๐ช๐ต๐ญ๐ฆ๐ฅ murals series and ๐๐ฆ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ต๐ณ๐ช๐ค ๐๐ฉ๐ข๐ฑ๐ฆ๐ด ๐ธ๐ช๐ต๐ฉ ๐๐ณ๐ข๐ธ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ๐ด, pieces where she reflects upon the gesture of drawing lines in the space and body, respectively. Porterโs practice during the 1970 centered on the experimentation with geometric shapes, with self portraits, where she explored the real and virtual realms of representation in these pieces. The artist chose images and objects to comment on the archetypal figures’ perception of them having volume in the bidimensional space.
Edited by Humberto Moro, this is the first publication to incorporate material related to the artist’s theatrical work. ๐๐๐๐๐๐ก๐ ๐ฃ๐ข๐ฅ๐ง๐๐ฅ: ๐ข๐ง๐๐๐ฅ ๐ฆ๐๐ง๐จ๐๐ง๐๐ข๐ก๐ฆ is available atย El Museo’sย website.
