Description: Exhibition where 5 artists confront the public simultaneously with images that evoke the landscape from its beginnings as a genre (in the 17th century) until the deconstruction of a post-modern, abstract and timeless landscape in the 20th and 21st centuries. Using material from the archives (copying classical paintings, manipulating old engravings, making collages of photographs and quotes, historical allusions and references) artists Salvatore Arancio, Elena Damiani, Haris Epaminonda, Cyprien Gaillard and Matts Leiderstam explore the concept of "panorama" as means of artistic communication and what the appropriation of past images reveal to us today, and how the gaze approximates to the past from a contemporary discourse.
Notes: Limited edition of 500 copies.

Published on the occasion of the exhibition held August 2013 at the Museo Tamayo Arte Contemporáneo, Mexico City.
