This exhibition by Eugenio Ampudia explores themes of time, the finitude of art, and the system that supports it, using installations as a call for existential reflection. The artist intervenes with light and word-based pieces to provoke thought on art as a universal language.
Eugenio Ampudia's exhibition 'SOS' delves into the artist's ongoing concern with time and the concept of finitude, specifically in relation to the end of art and its supporting structures. Installations within the Museo Nacional de Artes Decorativas serve as a plea and a space for existential contemplation. Externally, the intervention 'SOS' illuminates the museum's facade, using a universal language akin to Morse code to convey a cry for help towards a fading culture, highlighting art's potential as a universal medium. Inside, installations titled 'ACUMULADOR', 'LAS PALABRAS SON DEMASIADO CONCRETAS', and 'TIEMPO' form a sequence that engages with our collective imagination through semiotic codes. Ampudia's work emphasizes how words form, mutate, and become material, prompting endless reflection, as he states, 'Everything is written, everything is said, but nothing is determined. The future still belongs to no one.' This exhibition, curated by Blanca de la Torre and part of the 'Nuevas Miradas' program, is organized in collaboration with the National Museum of Decorative Arts and the Max Estrella Gallery.
The exhibition is open during the Museo Nacional de Artes Decorativas' regular hours. Admission details can be found on the museum's website. The exhibition is part of the museum's programming and does not appear to require separate ticketing beyond general admission, if applicable.
