Who Speaks? | Who Speaks?

The exhibition Who Speaks? / Who Speaks? brings together about ten works recently acquired by the Gallery that, from different angles and through varied approaches, problematize the authorial status of the contemporary artist, their discursivity and the multiple positions they adopt as a “speaking subject” in their practice.

Composed of videos, photographs and conceptual installations, as well as texts and related documents, this exhibition highlights various direct and indirect manifestations of artists’ linguistic identity and questions the plurality of other voices (individual, sociocultural and institutional) with which it is intertwined.
