Collections usually contain the logic they are made of, and regardless of the time and distance between those who organized them and those who reflect upon them, this logic still defines them and their interpretation. By searching for other gateways to such rich repertoires of art and objects of the colonial period like the ones exhibited at the Fernández Blanco Museum, this curatorial work chose to provoke discontinuities. In this way, the possible efficiency for the emergence of new insights into established repertoires can be analysed through the pieces selected from the vast collection of video art by Isabelle y Jean-Conrad Lemaitre (FRA). Two gestures underlie this show and give directions to the spectator: the contemporary disruptions within the established narrative in the permanent collection of the museum, and the counterpoint between different video art pieces.
