Description: Catalog of the anthological exhibition of the group Escombros, Artistas de lo que queda. Organized from the Group's archive, objects of conscience, call documents, manifestos, photographs, and photo-performances, produced by Escombros over more than twenty years. This collective of artists was well known in the city of Buenos Aires and in the rest of Argentina in the '90s, marking the production of several emerging groups, also establishing links between several generations. The group's activity begins with graffiti on July 9, 1988 on a vacant lot in the neighborhood of San Telmo, Buenos Aires, and the photographed image is sent by mail as a postcard.  Art of enunciation: we are an artist of what remains.  A wall, some rubble (escombros in Spanish). Having worked with a way of making action art, ephemeral and outside the usual circuit of galleries in those years, the fragility, opacity and precariousness of art history left them in oblivion.
