AN UNCERTAIN PLEASURE: QUESTIONING THROUGH TIME & SPACE
The exhibition at the Museo de Arte Moderno de Bogotá (MAMBO) in conjunction with the Cinemateca de Bogotá presents works that highlight and manifest sociopolitical questions, identity politics, the representation and fragmentation of the body, performativity and performance, globalization and diaspora.
An Uncertain Pleasure is an exhibition that focuses on multimedia and time artworks from the Pierre Huber Collection. The title of the exhibition is taken from the eponymous work by Zhang Peili, a pioneer of video art in China, and pays homage to the global, cultural and geographically multifaceted perspectives addressed in the collection, which is unique in its heterogeneity.
The term "time-based media" describes works that unfold temporally. It encompasses film, video, mono and multichannel video installations, slide projections, multimedia environments, sound, performance and digital art.
The exhibition spans four decades and includes artists central to the history of time-based art such as Nam June Paik and Tony Oursler; and foundational figures for the development of conceptual art, such as Robert Barry and On Kawara.
The works are exhibited as ambient audiovisual installations and adopt cinematic conventions or incorporate projections, synchronized audio, or performance. An Uncertain Pleasure proposes various approaches to time-based experiences, not only in terms of form, content, or crossovers with other media and disciplines, but also in terms of their presentation.

NARRATIVES: FROM META-STORIES TO POSTART
The rise of the philosophy of language in the middle of the last century impacted all areas of humanistic culture, especially theoretical thought and the arts. The notions of discourse, story and narrative are part of that linguistic turn in which culture is perceived as a text. This approach has also influenced the conceptualization, appreciation and evaluation of the visual arts, even in the face of the programmatic reluctance of art-purism and its rejection of the anecdotal. Basically, the discursive subjects, the story and the narration displaced the old leading role of the "retinal" aesthetics. Since then, a large part of the artistic questions are aired in the verbal sphere and not in the strictly sensible plane.
