Description: The exhibition presents two series of drawings by Zevallos, made during the formation of Grupo Chaclacayo (1982-1995), one of the most daring collective experiments that emerged in Peru in the 1980's. Grupo Chaclacayo -German artist Helmut Psotta (Bottrop, 1937 Ú Wesel,  2012), and Peruvians Raúl Avellaneda (Lima, 1960) and Sergio Zevallos (Lima, 1962)- have been an elusive presence and tales of the group have circulated as myths, both due to the scarcity of literature on their work, and the self-imposed exile of its members, who left Peru to live in Germany in 1989. Since then, knowledge of the group moved through rumors associated with the controversies sparked by their work, and certain contemporary positions and commentaries in the press that sought to dismiss and reject the way that the group addressed violence by a disturbing abjection in a male-dominated, misogynistic and homophobic society.
