The exhibition Pleas of Resistance traverses more than twenty-five years of practice by the artist Carlos Motta, who consistently engages with the body and sexual dissidence as a terrain of experimentation and political contestation.
His early explorations of photographic self-portraiture are shown alongside his most recent performances and video installations. The exhibition explores the magnitude of Motta’s artistic research and its implacable rigor in relation to the archive, interrogating its violence, its silencing and its desires. Motta’s work challenges the imposition of Eurocentric epistemologies – from the time of the conquest and colonial period in the Americas to the present day – and considers the legacy of religion as a perpetrator and disturbing vehicle of coloniality.

Is nice place to spend 2-3hrs. The place gets crowded later in the day. A lot of walking if you want cover all the places.

Looking at Picasso&#39;s work, suddenly I understood, that primitive, bold, strong thing deeply attracted me, stimulated my senses! Picasso casually used various painting methods to express his own emotions, basically not pure aesthetics, is to move to rational, abstract, re-constituting objects, combination, bring people newer, more profound feelings!
