MEMORIA presents a research project dedicated to two Latin American artists and three Spanish artists who establish a continuum on conceptual use and (de)construction in the sculptural medium, tensing the traditional relationship with the canvas, while at the same time making it visible in the proposals the commitment of denunciation and the baroque dramatic imprint. In this order of ideas, the story tenses the relationship and the limit between the pictorial and the sculptural medium.

The exhibition is based on the exhibition censored and destroyed in 1975 by the Pinochet government, “Printuras y Exculturas” by Chilean artist Guillermo Núñez, present in the project with his work “Ex-cultura, cage with military shoes and rope” .

Pablo Serrano, a pioneer in Spanish and European sculpture, contributes one of his pieces Vault for Man, which he presented in 1962 for the Spanish Pavilion at the Venice Biennale, where he reflects on the future of contemporary man.

The second curatorial axis reflects critically and concretely on the work of Ángela de la Cruz and the period of her work prior to her stroke in 2005.
