In Latin America it is common for popular music to be pirated and sold by street vendors as commercial merchandise. The artists in this exhibition take their cue from this phenomenon of sonido pirata (literally, “pirated sound”), making use of appropriated sounds and images and utilizing approaches to art-making that mimic and reflect black market economies. Working with video, music, performance, sculpture and installation, the artists create new sound and visual landscapes that function as forms of economic and cultural resistance. Curated by Julio Cesar Morales.
