Conquistadores is an overview of fresh contemporary talent from
Spain and Latin America that is – at least metaphorically speaking
– out to conquer the world. Globalization has affected both the
Spanish and Latin American art scene. Recent art contributions
from these countries seem to be nothing but a footnote in global
art history books. Far from it! Both art cultures are more alive than
ever! And that is what the exhibition Conquistadores is about. It is
based on a selection of Spanish and Latin American artists whose
work deals with local and national issues that are representative of
the general human condition in the 21st century. Executed in a
variety of traditional disciplines such as painting, installation,
sculpture or photography but also contemporary disciplines such
as video or street art, these works represent common values of
today’s global artistic community. We are very pleased to be
supported by the Spanish and the Colombian embassy in Berlin.
