'As The Earth Spins Beneath The Stars' comprises a selection of works from the Leal Rios Foundation's art collection. The exhibition establishes a dialogue between the works of two different generations. The first includes names such as Lawrence Weiner, Anthony McCall, and Matt Mullican, essential artists in the rise and advance of conceptual and post-conceptual art in the 1960s and 1970s, and also Allan Sekula, who greatly contributed to the reinvention of documentary. The second is represented by a selection of artists, such as Jonathan Monk, the duo Detanico and Lain, Adelina Lopes, and Max Frey, who have developed work based on the conceptual legacy of the first generation.
With one of Matt Mullican's 'cosmologies' as its starting point, the present show suggests a journey through several artistic proposals that, using different media, probe and question the real, the problems inherent to the perception of reality, as well as its interpretation and representation through the analysis of knowledge, language, and signifying systems. Most of the works on display require the active participation of the viewer, challenging them to create images, decode messages, to participate in the creation of meaning, and, sometimes, putting their senses to the test.
