Aoyama Meguro is pleased to announce “To defeat the purpose: Guerilla tactics in Latin American Art” , will be held from Saturday June 13 to Saturday July 11, 2020.Note on re-opening : We hereby “don’t” cordially invite you to view the reopen show in person. The new measures include: social distancing, limiting the number of visitors at any given time, hand sanitiser upon entry, and possible suspension of gallery activities when necessary.

A dichotomy emerged in Latin America. Surrounded by monuments, unfairly valued. Independent exhibition spaces emerged. Only later to become monuments in their own rights. Scarcity provoked creativity and the lack of solid cultural structure permitted fluidity. Young Latin American artist developed ‘guerilla tactics’ as a reaction to this situation. The wide variety of ways to approach exhibition and art practices that evolved from this is displayed by 19 young artists in this exhibition. Does the stark contrast between these pristine walls and their wacky interventions bring justice to their injustice?
