Félix González Torres: Some-where / No-where

The starting point for Territories of Desire began by exploring Georges Bataille's notion of non-productive expenditure (La Critique Sociale, 1933), with an extremely successful period that included three exhibitions: Petit Mal; Cildo Meireles; A Factory, a Machine, a Body. The second phase of this cycle moves toward Gilles Deleuze's theory on the theme of desire (Capitalism and Schizophrenia: Anti-Oedipus, 1972) with Dias & Riedweg's The Periphery of your Eyes, and the final two shows of this series:

Félix González Torres - Some-where / No-where, is an exhibition originated at MALBA in Argentina. Curator Sonia Becce's approach is embedded in the artist's sensuality, proving that it is possible to disseminate a clearly political message without sacrificing the beauty and subtlety of the work. This subversive aspect is not tainted by violence, nor does it refer to any direct political action. It seems more like an aesthetic intervention that manages to permeate between the social and the private: "At this point I do not want to be outside the structure of power, I do not want to be the opposition, the alternative. Alternative to what: To power? No. I want to have power. It's effective in terms of change. I want to be like a virus that belongs to the institution. All the ideological apparatuses are, in other words, replicating themselves; because that's the way the culture works. So if I function as a virus, an impostor, an infiltrator, I will always replicate myself together with those institutions."
