Conquistadores. A group show featuring over 30 Spanish and Latin American artists

About

Conquistadores is an overview of fresh contemporary talent from Spain and Latin America that is — at least metaphorically speaking — out to conquer the world. Globalization has affected both the Spanish and Latin American art scene. Recent art contributions from these countries seem to be nothing but a footnote in global art history books. Far from it! Both art cultures are more alive than ever! And that is what the exhibition Conquistadores is about. It is based on a selection of Spanish and Latin American artists whose work deals with local and national issues that are representative of the general human condition in the 21st century. Executed in a variety of traditional disciplines such as painting, installation, sculpture or photography but also contemporary disciplines such as video or street art, these works represent common values of today's global artistic community. We are very pleased to be supported by the Spanish and the Columbian embassy in Berlin.
