These are the biggest artwork exhibitions in London in 2019. In this video, Mario García Torres contemplates the interconnections of artwork, culture, and place through an imaginary letter written to Gerardo Murillo (1875-1964), a Mexican landscape painter and author who worked underneath the pseudonym Dr. Atl.” The digital camera roves over Barranca de Oblatos, a canyon outside Guadalajara that was a recurring topic of Murillo’s panorama work (and as soon as the steered web site of a proposed museum on which the Guggenheim consulted).

This work is made up of a number of slide projectors—objects redolent of the lecture corridor—ranged around the gallery area, every one casting a rectangle of sunshine onto the wall in front of it. Right here, Uruguayan artist Luis Camnitzer factors to the truth that art history is written by those in power, and tends to exclude sure accounts (together with Latin America’s) from the canon round which the self-discipline organizes itself.
