Notes from Untitled’s curator

It was a pleasure to be able to visit Colorado Springs and present these works with Diego and Cristian. The idea is to provide an insight into a generation of young Peruvian artists working with video in art, developing themes related to identity and hybridization, as well as to cinematic and cultural media languages. We encourage you to visit some sites that can provide you with more information about the artists and the issues some of the videos may raise.

The videos by Fernando Gutierrez presented in the exhibition are works that construct a number of ironic superheroes. www.huanchaco.com, contains information about Fernando Gutierrez, and the paitings and sculptures about Superchaco. His work on Superchaco began a few years ago and he plans to publish a Superchaco Comic very soon.

At www.cristianalarconismodes.blogspot.com you may find more works by Cristian Alarcón, including installation pieces and those for public spaces. The installation “Foto Monumental” may be of particular interest, as it deals with the politics of memory and local identity through the image of General Velasco Alvarado. If you are interested in knowing more about the context for the “Desplazados” series, you can visit the Truth and Reconciliation Commission Site, www.cverdad.org.pe.

We enjoyed meeting UCCS faculty and exchanging with students on different issues. We would like to thank Elissa Auther, Valerie Brodar and Caitlin Green for organizing this project and welcoming us to the Colorado Springs community.

Sincerely,
Mauricio Delfin
