The Mayor Gallery presents a group show of seven Latin American artists who were either born there or moved to join in the exciting and revolutionary art movements happening in the 50s and 60s.
About
Conceptual and abstract art made in several Latin American countries from the late ’50s onwards dealt not only with questions of abstraction and constructivism but also with deeper cultural issues such as colonialism, repressive and dictatorial governments and social inequality. Their art is not just aesthetic expressions of creativity but a form of resistance to censorship and brutal regimes.Featuring: Wifredo Acray / Carlos Cairoli / Los Carpineros / Waldemar Cordeiro / Hamlet Lavastida / Mira Schendel / Luis Tomasello
