Campos de Marte

Hector Solari's (Uruguay 1956) work has for many years maintained a very important relationship with the context of world violence: wars in the Middle East, attacks in different parts of the world, the Uruguayan dictatorship of the 70s, and gender inequity and violence against women. In the exhibition under the name Campos de Marte (Fields of Mars), the artist selects seven of his last works (drawings, videos, installations, video installations) produced in Germany and presents three new ones specially created for the Juan Manuel Blanes Museum. The exhibition, inspired in the fields where the army exercises, recovere and rest, (first named during the Roman Empire), refers to the endless battles of humanity that appear and reappear in the plastic art work of the artist.
