The Baroque D_effect
Politics of the Hispanic Image
curated by art historians Jorge Luis Marzo and
Tere Badia
The Hispanic phenomenon symbolizes the
homogeneous framework shared by Spain and
Latin America. But who built this myth and
what strategies have been generated to keep it
going down through the centuries, through
many different regimes, ideologies and
governments?
This exhibition, curated by art historians Jorge
Luis Marzo and Tere Badia, is a meticulous
examination of the relation between the
Hispanic myth and its principal survival
strategy: the baroque. Of all the images used
in Spanish-speaking countries to construct and
legitimate their identity and memory, the
baroque has been the most lasting,
widespread and influential, often at the cost of
other equally important threads.
“The Baroque D_effect” is devised as a
dissection of this narrative and of the cultural
policies that continue to write it today. It
should be seen then not as an exhibition of
baroque art, but of the political and cultural
strategies which over the years have helped to
create an official homogenizing narrative, the
Hispanic myth, and of the part played in it by
the world of creation.
The show starts out from the expediency of
examining these questions from the viewpoint
of contemporary creation, one of the principal
heirs to this myth-making narrative. Using
cinema, videos, documentaries, animation and
installations, the exhibition presents visitors
