Serie Lo que ves es lo que es / Judd Shaft
The pieces belonging to Serie Lo que ves es lo que es (What you see is what it is Series) correspond to the study of declassified files of the US Intelligence Services during the period 1948-1994 related to North American Minimalism and propose a revision of the declassified CIA files on Latin American countries.
In relation to these archives, this group of works also problematizes the contents of American Minimalist art, contrasting the austerity and formal asceticism of that movement with the political violence of the period in which it developed, contrasting the appropriation of iconic works by Donald Judd, which are materially intervened, through the insertion intelligence documents in cut acrylic or printed strips, which formally intervene them and modify their content. In effect, at the same time that the great political operations are taking place in Latin American territory, North American artistic and academic institutions are promoting and disseminating minimalist abstraction as their artistic avant-garde.
