The selection of works, chosen from the more than 2,500 pieces in the Ca.Sa Collection, is presented across the five zones of the magnificent interior architecture designed by Guillermo Hevia Garc\u00eda in the vast warehouse housing the collection. The 34 chosen pieces reflect this phenomenon, with references to Diego Vel\u00e1zquez, Francisco de Goya, Francis Bacon, German Expressionism, Pop Art, Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, Mimmo Rotella, Barbara Kruger, Michelangelo Pistoletto, Tarsila do Amaral, Ron Mueck, Nicanor Parra, comics, cinema, and classic children\u2019s tales such as <em>Hansel and Gretel<\/em> and <em>Pinocchio<\/em>, as well as the Smurfs, vampire horror stories, superheroes, and erotica.<\/p>\n<p>Another unifying element of the exhibited works is figuration, which appears in portraits, narrated stories, collages made with magazine clippings, references to comics, and landscapes featuring people and animals, objects, and nature\u2014all blended together to construct the nonexistent. This is part of the magic artists possess to craft their narratives through painting, drawing, photographic collage, sculpture, and assemblage.<\/p>\n<p>The gathering of these works speaks to the persistence of memory, the references to art, and this ongoing construction with the history of art.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hern\u00e1n Garfias<\/strong>, Curator<br \/>\n<strong>Ram\u00f3n Sauma<\/strong>, Founder of the Ca.Sa Collection<br \/>\n<strong>Camila Colonelli<\/strong>, Collection Manager<br \/>\n<strong>Richard Bustos<\/strong>, Installation Manager<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":9626,"template":"","class_list":{"0":"post-9627","1":"exposiciones","2":"type-exposiciones","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"entry"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>The Persistence of Memory &#8226; Ca.Sa.
