This proposal is an intervention on a repertoire of works from the heritage collections of the Castagnino+Macro Museum (Rosario, Argentina) and the MAAC (Guayaquil, Ecuador). The idea of this exercise is to establish a dialogue between the visual arts productions from different latitudes of the vast South American territory.
This operation on the selection of pieces from both collections, selected for different profiles and objectives, makes it possible to broaden their visibility channels and conditions. Furthermore, the intersections around the five axes established unveil existing dialogues and especially account for the meeting points of languages and problems addressed by artists in modern and contemporary visual art discourses. Whether fixed or mobile, the pieces of this “machine” reveal a way of thinking about times, junctures and dilemmas.
On the other hand, Machinations entails conducting a series of actions that open the gates to the technological resources of contemporaneity. Thus, the access to cultural goods is reorganized and so are the communication and transference roads by which the construction of a shared imaginary can be further envisaged.
