This dossier covers forty years of Norberto Gómez’s work, from his minimalist constructions of 1966 and 1967 to the anti-monuments he produced in polyester and bronze in the nineties. In between, his series of “guts”, organic remains, weapons and “plasters” punctuate a long career that has enriched the Argentine art scene.

Discussing this exhibition and the way it echoes the violence then experienced in the country, Ricardo Marín-Crosa has said:
Thanks to a perfect and irrepressible synesthesia (...) the visual features I perceive become aural fragments. And a heartrending howl, an unceasing cry, grates my brain (...) And it is no coincidence that this original metaphor of the human mystery should take place in this land of steaks and barbecues, in this bloodied land of “unitarios” and “federales”. Nota 7
He takes part in the exhibition Adentro y afuera en seis espacios urbanos (“Inside and Out in Six Urban Spaces”), which opens
