[no title] Possibly 1976 - 2007

Editor: This untitled work by León Ferrari, likely from 1995, is a collage of a news clipping on paper. The aged paper gives it a fragile feel. What can you tell me about its materials and message? Curator: The yellowing of the paper stock itself speaks volumes about time and context. Ferrari often utilized readily available materials like newspaper clippings to challenge the means of information production and distribution. How does the act of collage, of re-presenting this text, change its meaning for you? Editor: I see it as commentary on the media itself, highlighting how news can be manipulated. I hadn’t considered the material of the paper as part of the message, though. Thanks! Curator: Exactly. By understanding the materiality, we can unpack Ferrari’s critique of power structures and consumption of information.
