[no title] Possibly 1976 - 2007

Editor: This untitled work by León Ferrari features what appears to be a newspaper clipping. It feels very direct and confrontational. What social commentary do you see in this piece? Curator: Ferrari often used collage and text to critique political and religious institutions. Newspaper became both medium and message, reflecting the socio-political turmoil of Argentina. Does the date, 1976, spark any ideas? Editor: It does, that was during a particularly oppressive period of military dictatorship in Argentina. So, the newspaper isn't just a medium, it's a record of that specific historical moment? Curator: Precisely. The work implicates the press, potentially questioning their role in either reporting or concealing the regime's atrocities. It's a powerful statement on the politics of information and silence.
