[no title] Possibly 1976 - 2007

Curator: This is an untitled work by León Ferrari. Though undated, its materiality speaks volumes: it's newsprint, that ephemeral stuff of daily life. Editor: It feels…urgent, like a shout torn from the headlines. All this dense text, a jumble of information vying for attention. Curator: Ferrari often used newspapers to critique political power, especially during periods of intense repression in Argentina. Editor: You can almost feel the anxiety of the time, the sense of information being weaponized. It's a raw, visceral reaction. Curator: Exactly. This piece likely relates to the assassinations of Uruguayan exiles in Buenos Aires during the 1970s, a dark chapter under military dictatorships. Editor: So it's not just news, it's a record of trauma, a painful reminder of silenced voices. That gives the chaotic composition a whole new layer of meaning. Curator: Precisely. Looking at the newsprint, one is confronted with the fragility of truth and the enduring power of art to resist oppression. Editor: Art as a form of bearing witness, even when the story is almost too painful to tell.
