PRODUCTION / REPRODUCTION - SANDRA GAMARRA’S INDIVIDUAL EXHIBITION AT MALI
The Museum of Art of Lima - MALI presents this exhibition of the outstanding Peruvian artist curated by the historian and art critic Luis Eduardo Wuffarden. Based on the so-called mixed race paintings commissioned by Viceroy Manuel de Amat y Junyent and sent to the King of Spain Carlos III in 1770, Sandra Gamarra commissioned their reproduction to a copyists' workshop in China. On these she added quotes from different contemporary feminist thinkers. In response to the absence of original works in Peru, this series, made up of twenty paintings, has been donated by LiMac to the MALI collection of contemporary art.

Set in Valle Sagrado de los Incas (Peru), the works are exhibited along with a made-for-the-occasion text written by Rafael Mayu Nolte. Taking its elements from banking, advertising and finance, the show aims to expose the ways in which a generation was manipulated and even suffocated by monetary schemes. Through metonimias and the deliberate invisibility of all identities but the white male, Cieza Hurtado speaks to the middle-class consciense of Lima.
