To move through the exhibition No-Objetualismos. Hacia un pensamiento visual independiente at Museo del Chopo is to discover a new world. It is a journey to a Latin America in the nineteen-seventies and eighties, a time when art seemed to be in a state of ebullition, bubbling up everywhere with a refreshing lucidity. The exhibition's main angle is to explore no-objetualismos through the multiple facets and approaches in each country, as well as the referents and agents of art, from both theory and practice. Originally presented at the Museo de Arte Moderno de Medellín, the show is updated and enriched in Mexico with local context through a dialogue between the exhibition's original curator in Colombia, Jorge Lopera, and curator Miguel A. López of Museo del Chopo.
