[no title] Possibly 1976 - 2007

Curator: This untitled work from León Ferrari presents us with something stark: newspaper clippings, seemingly raw and unfiltered. It’s approximately 420 by 297 millimeters, so about the size of a standard piece of paper. Editor: My immediate feeling? It’s a punch to the gut. The cold, hard newsprint…it feels like being confronted with undeniable horror. Curator: Indeed. Ferrari often used collage to confront political and religious hypocrisy. Here, the headlines scream of violence against clergy in Argentina during a dark period of political turmoil. Editor: And it's the lack of embellishment that gets to me. The directness. The way the text is presented, unaltered, pulls you into that moment of reading the news, absorbing the shock. It's brutal. Curator: The rawness is deliberate. Ferrari avoids commentary, letting the juxtaposition of the reports speak for themselves, highlighting the complicity of institutions in the face of such atrocities. Editor: It’s a powerful reminder that art can be a mirror reflecting the uncomfortable truths we often try to ignore. Ferrari's work demands we look and remember.
