Description: From the so-called miscegenation paintings commissioned by the viceroy Manuel de Amat y Junyent and sent to the King of Spain Carlos III in 1770, contemporary artist Sandra Gamarra (Lima, 1972), commissioned its reproduction to a workshop of copyists in China. On these copies, she added quotes from different contemporary feminist thinkers. In response to the absence of the original works in Peru, this series, composed of twenty paintings, has been donated by LiMac to the MALI contemporary art collection. The ultimate meaning of Production/Reproduction rests on a commonly relegated aspect: the subordinate but essential role of women in the production and reproduction of labour forces. To do this, it takes as its starting point the word "produces", used repeatedly in the original legends and links the subtext with handwritten quotes from contemporary feminist thinkers such as Silvia Federici and Claudia Mazzei, referring to historical patriarchy. Twenty years after the exhibition that first presented them in Lima, the copied canvases of the 18th century caste paintings return to MALI to stay. The donation initiative comes from LiMac, the artist's museum. This donation updates the representation of Sandra Gamarra in the museum's collections, but also compensates for a gap impossible to fill.
Notes: "This catalog is published on the occasion of the exhibition "Production/Reproduction" by Sandra Gamarra presented at the Muse de Arte de Lima (MALI) between August 19, 2021 and May 8, 2022. Its design is based on the catalog of the exhibitions "Los cuadros de mestizaje del virrey Amat" [The Miscegenation Paintings of Viceroy Amat| and "La representación etnográfica en el Perú colonial" [The Ethnographic Representation in Colonial Peru] held at the Muse de Arte de Lima between December 15, 1999 and February 13, 2000." --Page [5].
