Author Description

The Project "Nuevos Nombres" investigates and promotes the work of Colombian emerging artists since 1985. Over the years, the program has occupied different spaces in the Luis Ángel Arango Library (BLAA), the Casa República and the project room "The Parqueadero" of the Art Museum Miguel Urrutia (MAMU), with conventional exhibition formats. In the 2017-2018 edition, Nuevos Nombres abandoned the exhibition format in the room and was redesigned as a series of interventions in the collections, architecture and virtual platform of the Banco de la República's cultural area. The projects that are part of this exhibition make direct reference to the space they occupy and transform, while generating new possibilities for reading the site and the collections, in their material, historical and political dimensions.
