Artist collectives are formed as a response to voids that are found in the art system and in order to explore theories and concepts that fall outside of traditional conventions. To a greater or lesser extent collectives assume political positions. Jorge Andrés Marín presents us with evidence about the activities of an artist collective from Medellín called Grupo Centro. It was active between 1981 and 1995. By using different archival materials the artist constructs their history around real political situations and events. The artist shows us that, ultimately, history is a construction of declarations of facts and that reality is based on our belief in the truth of this evidence. With this installation Marín challenges us to question this story and history itself.
