Resumen:
From within an institution such as MoMA, which to a great extent and for decades has been defining the Western canon of modern art, is it possible to generate a guiding logic that is not only different from but even contrary to the established one? What are the implications of taking a different standpoint from within MoMA toward the inside of the institution, but also toward the outside? We faced a similar dilemma and asked ourselves the same questions in the Southern Conceptualisms Network, regarding the complicity and ties of collaboration we have with the Reina Sofia Museum in Madrid. Can we go beyond the museums bureaucratic regulations, its symbolic weight, its acquisition policies and its production of large exhibitions, as well as its construction of a single narrative of legitimization?
