Ejercito plástico: El ayer y hoy del derrotero del Mural de David Alfaro Siqueiros

View through CrossRef
Ejercicio Plástico, el Mural de David Alfaro Siqueiros, es conocido por ser la única obra de contenido no político del artista y por las circunstancias que rodearon su producción, olvido y rescate. No obstante, la relocalización de la pieza en el inaugurado Museo del Bicentenario por Cristina Fernández Kirchner, hoy renombrado como Museo de la Casa Rosada por la administración de Mauricio Macri, en su intento por despolitizar su contenido, le imprime un nuevo giro a la historia. La continuidad del mural en el museo, así como su interpretación actual no escapan del debate polarizado por la “grieta” que divide la sociedad argentina y que nos recuerda que lo cultural también es político. El artículo que presento ubica al mural en el contexto del museo en el que se encuentra--con sus cambios de nombre y contenido--, con el objetivo de explicar el proceso de politización-despolitización y el impacto que este ha producido en la interpretación del mural.
