Serie lo que ves es lo que es is a series of works that correspond to the study of declassified archives from the US intelligence services during the period 1948-1994 and propose a revision of fourteen Latin American countries’ history. In relation to these files, this group of works also problematizes the role of Minimalism, opposing its austerity to the Latin American political violence, and juxtaposing the appropriation of Donald Judd’s works that are shown structurally transformed by inserting files or printed strips, which modify its contents. In fact, while occurring major political operations in Latin American territory, artistic and American academic institutions promote and disseminate minimalist abstraction as its artistic vanguard.
