CONTINUUM: FROM THE DIALOGUE WITH DELCY MORELOS
The Andalusian Center for Contemporary Art (CAAC) is showing Continuum or the appearance of the parts and the whole in its recovered space in the cellars of the institution's complex in Seville, an exhibition whose origin is to be sought in Profundis, the proposal that Colombian Delcy Morelos (Tierralta, Colombia, 1967) made for this same center this year and that served as a framework to sublimate, from the analysis, the dialogue beyond the material and the relationship she kept with her collaborators when it came to putting together her recent exhibition.
The exhibition can thus be seen from the perspective of the continuity of that social and communicative process, but its importance lies in the germ that grows to become an exhibition opportunity for new artists and in the creation of an environment. This is where this group show is held, a set of diverse languages that maintain the common denominator of their origin in that cohabitation and the attitude towards the relational between beings and objects. Among the artists represented are Alexis Acuña Papic, Álvaro Castaño Garcia, Manuel Cid Medrano, Juanba Fernandez Zambrano, María Jesús González Torrijos, Paula Huz, Ceci Pica, Ana Posada Baraldes, Daniel Scordio and Angélica Maria Zorilla.
Their link with the Colombian artist is also reflected in the reflection that each work proposes and that ends up transforming that original link. The works are based on personal concerns, but are materialized within that collaborative spirit to produce a diverse journey that buries, in a certain way, individuality in favor of the expression and the charge of that Profundis.
But, if there is another argument in favor of this Continuum or the appearance of the parts and the whole, it is the extension and that dialogue beyond the people and approach it, also, from the point of view of place and geography. The exhibition takes us to the historical and commercial relationship between Spain and America, which had Seville as one of its critical points in Latin America, between the “Old” and “New” worlds in which Seville actively participated and, specifically, the monastery of Santa María de las Cuevas, the headquarters of the institution.
Continuum or the appearance of the parts and the whole can be seen until February 9 at the Centro Andaluz de Arte Contemporáneo (CAAC), camino de los Descubrimientos, Seville (Spain).

THE FIRE KEEPERS, A PERSPECTIVE ON THE MYTH OF FIRE FROM A MEXICAN CURATORIAL PERSPECTIVE
In an art industry that increasingly advocates following the lines established by cultural policies, it is always comforting to return to thesis themes, to environments that draw from social and historiographic sources, of course, but also from myths and a well-understood anthropology. You can go deeper in subtitles and lines or you can put together a skeleton, but the overview can also be a reward these days.

CAN THE ARCHIPELAGO ENTER THE MUSEUM? IBEROAMERICA IN THE PROPOSAL OF THE HELGA DE ALVEAR MUSEUM
“I imagine the museum as an archipelago. It is not a continent, but an archipelago (...) The idea today is to put the world in contact with the world, to put some parts of the world in contact with other parts of the world... We must multiply the number of worlds inside museums”. Édouard Glissant (Sainte-Marie, Martinique, 1929-Paris, France, 2011) expressed his vision of museum functionality in this metaphorical way in his work Poetics of Relationship (1990).
