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.

His work takes part in the exhibition Arte Argentino Contemporáneo (“Contemporary Argentine Art”), made up of a selection of works from the holdings of the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes, and presented at Fundación Arte y Tecnología of Madrid, Spain.
He takes part in the 3er Simposio Internacional de la Cultura (“International Symposium on Culture”) in Guardaclava, Cuba, which commemorates the 35th anniversary of the Cuban revolution; also in attendance are the Colombian sculptor Germán Botero and the Polish artist Magdalena Abakanowicz, amongst others. He plans a monument consisting of five cement arrows, with a similar design to his series of weapons. A local construction company was to build the piece, which should have been erected at a public space in Cubacan, an area famous for its revolutionary zeal.  Gómez’s idea was to orient the arrows in such a way as to indicate that they had been launched from Washington and hit the ground there. After long talks, and seeing that the work far exceeded the scale of what the Cubans were prepared to make, Gómez abandons the project and returns home, disappointed.
