This exhibition presents Pedro Lasch's 'Espejo negro' project in Spain, which merges pre-Columbian figures with works from the Prado Museum's collection through black mirrors. The project explores the complex relationship between modernity and colonialism, and the fusion of 'before America' and 'the invention of America' in contemporary Latin American culture.
The exhibition 'Pedro Lasch. Figuraciones inversas' marks the Spanish debut of Pedro Lasch's 'Espejo negro' project. Initiated with a photographic work that combined the Aztec 'Coatlicue' with Velázquez's 'Las Meninas', this series serves as a potent visual metaphor for the union of modernity and colonialism. The works presented, including drawings and glass engravings, engage in a play of transparencies and reflections, blurring the lines between past and present, spectator and artwork, and pre- and post-Columbian eras. This fusion reflects the complex, layered reality of contemporary Latin American culture. The pieces specifically for 'Figuraciones inversas' incorporate pre-Columbian figures from the Museo de América in Madrid, juxtaposed with figurative paintings from the Museo Nacional del Prado, all visible through black mirrors. Installed within the Museo de Arte Abstracto Español, these works foster new dialogues between figuration and abstraction, Spanish art and indigenous civilizations, adding layers to the histories of the objects' collections. Each pairing of sculpture and image, collapsed within the mirror, displays its own content while simultaneously reflecting the viewer and their contemporary surroundings. The exhibition complements 'Antes de América. Fuentes originarias en la cultura moderna,' another exhibition hosted by the Fundación Juan March in Madrid.
