We invoke a ghost because there is something here that is out of joint: 2010 has been officially designated the year for the observance of emancipations and foundings. It is a time for celebration that is disordered, threatened, unhinged, disturbed and insane, a moment of disjunction between past, present and future which, while attempting to sustain a promised homogenous temporal structure in the Progress, what has taken over is delirium:  promise, failure and negation. The official announcement doesnt attempt to activate the celebration and commemoration as a critical interpretive exercise but as a spectacle that tries to legitimate the past as a done deed, looking toward the future while the ruins pile up and the dead bury the dead.  

The exhibition is a result of the need to question this aesthetic-political structure composed of past, memory and history, approaching it, rather, as a process of formation of what is visible and what is invisible, of inclusions and exclusions, one that using this tension draws a spectrography.
