Description

Tent. Barcelona, Museu d'Art Contemporani de Barcelona (MACBA), 04-11-2016, 19-03-2017. - Groepstentoonstelling belicht de politiek-sociale en culturele transitie in Spanje in de jaren '80. - The exhibition reflects on a series of historical events of a socio-political nature. It features the work of groups, cultural activists and artists who went against the grain by embodying attitudes that, ten years earlier, had been symbols of refutation, irony and political dissent. While in the seventies underground art was shrouded in secrecy and thwarted by censorship, in the eighties it argued for a critical reformulation of cultural practices. Through publications, magazines, comics and anti-artistic exercises, they added a sour note to the democratic regeneration of the country by questioning the political parties’ desire to ‘turn a new page’ and forget the years of dictatorship, without a due process of political accountability and an analysis of the social consequences
