- Summary
- This retrospective offers a global, contextualised view of Luis Camnitzer's multi-faceted work, spanning nearly sixty years. As an essayist, art critic, curator, teacher, lecturer and a creator of objects, actions and musical compositions, Camnitzer focuses on art's transformative capacity, viewing it essentially as a product of reflection. His practice, whether it be artistic, or through his essays or teaching, is defined by its approach to the controversial issues of our times: the criticism of art-commodity, the demystification and obsolescence of the role of the artist in consumer society, the strategies power uses to impose its logic and perpetuate its control, or the capacity of neoliberal societies to turn education into an instrument of propaganda and thus render it irrelevant, all through the signifying role of language, with its ambiguities and arbitrariness, and images' power to evoke. With these tools Camnitzer seeks to awaken the active participation of the viewer and their involvement in the artistic process.--Museo Reina Sofia website.
