Carlos Amorales: Herramientas de trabajo (Work Tools), at the Museo de Arte Moderno, Medellin

The exhibition titled Carlos Amorales: Herramientas de trabajo (Work Tools), presented in the Salas A, B and Sala de Fundiciones of the Museo de Arte Moderno in Medellin, will remain open to the public until November 6. Carlos Amorales was born in México City in 1970. He has shown his work at the Museo Tamayo, in Mexico City, the Museo de Arte Latinoamericano in Buenos Aires (MALBA), Argentina, and the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), in New York City. Amorales is currently one of the artists representing Latin America at the Venice Biennial. His work has been characterized by a particular interest in language and the creation of codices and forms that he renders in his visual works. An archive of 4,000 digital images, called "Liquid Archive," is part of the work tools that this Mexican artist has been using in his body of work for twenty years to develop his artistic production. In the context of the exhibition Carlos Amorales: Herramientas de trabajo (Work Tools), visitors will be able to take advantage of a small screening room adapted in the Sala A of the museum, which will feature four films produced, animated and musicalized by Amorales: La aldea maldita (The Cursed Village, 2017), digital film, black and white, with sound, 13 minutes; Amsterdam (2103), digital film, black and white, with sound, 21 minutes; El hombre que hizo todas las cosas prohibidas (The Man Who Did All Things Forbidden, 2014), digital film, black and white, with sound, 40 minutes; El no me mires (The-Eye-Me-Not, 2015), digital film, color, with sound, 49 minutes.
