Marcos López and our identity...
12:24 p.m.
08/22/16 - A crazy mix, unaware of all curatorial standards. This is how we can describe photographer Marcos López's exhibition (although he is currently experimenting with three dimensions), true to his way of making photos, his very particular creating process, that DNA of his: advertising, mockery and reality. The exhibition occupies a room at the CCK and was organised to celebrate the 200th anniversary of our independence.
According to López, there is not just a unique way to describe who we are, because the mixture and diversity in treatment is such, that we must constantly come back and forth. Thus we see Prilidiano Pueyrredón's iconic bathtub painting recreated in a plastic bathing pool, together with a portrait of Nicola Costantino imitating Berni's "La mujer del suéter rojo" and our National heroes with Kuitca's painted mattresses. All together in a magnificent mess.
Marcos Lopez - Exhibition "Ser Nacional"
CCK - August 2016
What is López aim with this exhibition? He probably wants us to understand that National Identity is a blending of different things, but most of all, a popular emotion. Who successfully interpreted that feeling was Antonio Berni with his "Desocupados" or his "Chelsea Hotel"...
