The exhibition entitled How they See Us gathers together pieces from the permanent CGAC collection and the ARCO Foundation collection; pieces that cover a period of almost thirty years (from 1970 to 2007) by artists from different generations and geographies, laying special emphasis on the ways in which self-representation is shown as the process of questioning historically constructed conventions.
And so the look of these representations opens up to approaches that talk to the history of art and processual and conceptual attitudes that interrogate means such as photography.
On the other hand, we can see works in which the look is constructed as a political discourse in both the traditional sense and in a more restricted direction towards matters of sexual and gender identity.
