Carlos Basualdo, one of the curators of the last Documenta and of Argentinean
origin, means the exhibition title literally. He wants to bring together
works which deal with the consequences of the political, economic and
social crisis in developing countries. The exhibition aims to show how
artists and architects react to these conditions, and which aesthetic
forms of survival and resistance they develop.
That which constitutes a crisis should be analyzed, as well as how
this manifests itself in art and society. Basualdo assumes that art,
as a form of knowledge, contributes to recognizing and dealing with
such circumstances.
