Over the past sixty years, the pioneering Argentinian artist Marta Minujín (b. 1941, Buenos Aires, Argentina) has developed happenings, performances, installations, and video works that have greatly influenced generations of contemporary artists in Latin America and beyond.
About
Marta Minujín combines elements of experimental theater, film and television, advertising, and sculpture to create total environments—including the now-legendary La Menesunda (1965)—that place viewers at the center of social situations and confront them with the seductiveness of media images and celebrity culture. Emerging in the 1960s as one of the strongest voices in Argentinian art, Minujín has often refused to make lasting objects, instead developing her work in opposition to institutional structures.
Minujín seeks to provoke viewers and spur them into action, and to offer new modes of encounter with consumer culture, mass media, and urban life. Her work, alongside that of Niki de Saint Phalle, Christo, Claes Oldenburg, and others, counts among the earliest examples of large-scale artistic environments, demonstrating how Minujín radically anticipated the contemporary obsession with interactive spaces and the quest for an intensity of experience that defines social media today.
The exhibition is curated by Massimiliano Gioni, Edlis Neeson Artistic Director, and Helga Christoffersen, Associate Curator
