The horizon is always receding, brings together a selection of works that reflect on the extension and implications that the term “contemporary” can have. As the philosopher Giorgio Agamben suggests, contemporaneity can be understood as a term that transcends temporal demarcations and simultaneity and coexistence. In this sense, this exhibition serves as a symptomatic sample of the concerns of today's artists and their immediate relations with the geopolitical and social environment.
The title of this exhibition suggests that contemporaneity is conducive to the inevitable emergence of a surplus. When one intends to keep up to date with the totality of factors that make up the present, a new situation always emerges that escapes any possibility of apprehension. In this way, it can be said that the horizon of a presentist model of thought is always receding. This exhibition features works by more than 21 international and national artists like Danh Vo, Gabriel Orozco, Roberto Gil de Montes, and Carlos Amorales.
