[no title] Possibly 1976 - 2007

Editor: Here we have an untitled piece by León Ferrari. It looks like a collage of newspaper clippings. The headlines are stark and unsettling. What do you see in this piece? Curator: It screams of a painful history, doesn't it? Ferrari often used text and image together, confronting political realities head-on. The clippings become fragments of a broken narrative. Look at the urgency in the font, the density of the text. What does it evoke in you? Editor: A sense of unease, a feeling that something terrible has happened and is being presented matter-of-factly. Curator: Exactly. And that disjunction, that contrast between the horrific content and the mundane presentation, is precisely where Ferrari's critique lies. Art can be a powerful form of protest, wouldn't you agree?
