Luis Camnitzer's solo show (inserte título aquí) / (insert title here), at the Centre del Carme Cultura Contemporània.
The institution's press release follows:
'(insert title here)' is an exhibition by artist Luis Camnitzer that brings together a selection of pieces created between 1967 and 2024 that reflect on the idea of naming as an exercise in appropriation. We know the names of things, sometimes we even exercise the power to name them. Through different “situations”, the exhibition becomes a mediation device that invites the public to actively participate and generates a kind of co-creative workshop in which questions about authorship, the usefulness of art, education or artificial intelligence emerge.
Luis Camnitzer (1937) is a Uruguayan artist who has lived in New York City since 1964. He is Professor Emeritus at the State University of New York College at Old Westbury. He represented Uruguay at the 43rd Venice Biennale in 1988 and has exhibited works at several biennials, including several editions of the Havana Biennial, the Whitney Biennial in 2000, and Documenta 11 in 2002.
