التمرير التلقائي:
  • 00:00:01
    This is an exhibition we have been working on for a few years now
  • 00:00:06
    Interest in Mondrian had to do with the fact that the genealogy of art in this country
  • 00:00:12
    is somewhat based on Miró, on Picasso, in the 1940s on Dalí.
  • 00:00:17
    Mondrian was important, but, nevertheless, the importance, the significance, the relevance that he had,
  • 00:00:23
    above all, in Latin American art of the 40s and 50s, is something that somehow we had not analyzed
  • 00:00:33
    considering that this art is represented in the Museum and is very important to us.
  • 00:00:38
    What was important to the Latin Americans? Mondrian is the great figure, this idea of ​​abstraction,
  • 00:00:43
    of a concrete art, an art that is material, that builds forms that are part of the world…
  • 00:00:50
    That was fundamental for them. But they questioned that Mondrian had not been able to break the frame,
  • 00:00:58
    to break the molding, to extend into space and, therefore, to extend to the bodies.
  • 00:01:04
    The thesis of the exhibition is that this Mondrian is not real, in the sense that Mondrian worked the space,
  • 00:01:12
    Mondrian cared about frames, Mondrian broke the molding as Lygia Clark asked for.
  • 00:01:20
    Mondrian was modifying the works in relation to the exhibitions he was doing and,
  • 00:01:26
    on the other hand, he was an artist who worked in relation to the world, in relation to others.
  • 00:01:32
    Then, based on this hypothesis, we began to develop the exhibition.
  • 00:01:39
    So, in the exhibition we see that there are a series of individual Mondrian rooms,
  • 00:01:44
    where different environments are generated, where we try to reproduce a certain idea of ​​how he was mounting the works.
  • 00:01:53
    And these environments are contrasted with more collective spaces, spaces where there are mainly artists linked to De Stijl,
  • 00:02:05
    where some of the ideas that boiled over in Mondrian's work: interest in architecture, design, space and the environment are there together
  • 00:02:15
    with some of the ideas that he considered contradictory, such as the diagonal, as a certain type of space...
  • 00:02:23
    And that is the basis of the exhibition.
  • 00:02:27
    Mondrian is part of all these moments of the historical avant-gardes, where there is a desire to radically transform the world,
  • 00:02:38
    from the designs of cities to the design of a piece of furniture or the design of a room
  • 00:02:46
    and, at the same time, to find those elements essential that constitute the human being.
  • 00:02:54
    On the other hand, there is very early interest in Mondrian for nature,
  • 00:03:02
    there is an interest in establishing a relationship between the human being and the environment
  • 00:03:07
    that has to do with many of the interests of contemporary concerns.
  • 00:03:15
    Consequently, Mondrian is a figure that reflects like few others a particular moment in the history of modern art.
  • 00:03:22
    It also reflects how this moment was somehow misinterpreted or limited by a certain modernist vision,
  • 00:03:31
    in the English sense of the term reduced, in its aspirations, in its intentions,
  • 00:03:38
    and how this work possibly makes more sense today than ever.
