Ordinary Revolutions

The Museum Morsbroich presented a theme-based group exhibition featuring positions of Latin American contemporary art which are not yet well known in Germany. The artists generally dealt with everyday objects, the material or form of which they changed, or simply removed from their normal context in order to assign them a new frame of meaning. By playing on our conventional perception and intentionally contradicting expectations, the artists upset, and thereby, revolutionize our traditional, routine ways of perceiving the world around us. In many of the works, the explosive force of such intention was often combined with black humour or biting irony directed at the ideologically established language of form in European modernity.
