Presente en el Museo absent in the museum

摘要

PRESENTE EN EL MUSEO | absent in the museum was a performance installation exhibited at the 2016 MFA Thesis Exhibition. The project archived studio practice methodologies that question the current stasis of art academia's indifference to alternative art theory originating from other sources of knowledge besides that of the male Eurocentric art canon. I, as the artist, executed an experiment to combat and envision a bridge between multiple realities proving they can coexist creating a joint effort in providing modernization of contemporary art. This thesis paper is an accompaniment to the visual performance art component.
