Exhibitions: verification of a cultural-political project

In 1932 MoMA presents his first exhibition Modern Architecture and the display is made of maquette, photographic reproductions and drawings, not very different from the current set-ups. It is necessary to reflect about exhibition projects. The exhibitions of contemporary art and architecture are increasingly rich in videos, books, drawings, magazines, in an uncontrolled encyclopedic obsession. Unnecessary strategies if the curator's political-critical project is not clear and obvious. Undoubtedly there is a strong correlation between research and exhibition design, where the exhibition is a synthesis of an articulated process of knowledge and dissemination for different levels of users. This intervention wants to analyze different case studies of collective exhibitions to demonstrate the relationship between political-critical project and display, with other cases where it was necessary to create artifacts to make up for the theoretical vacuum.
