Abstract
Following scholars such as Hal Foster o Anna Maria Guasch we could recognize an archival turn that proposes new challenges to art history in general, but more precisely to the relationship between art and the couple history/memory, and the link that visual culture establishes with this paradigm settled for two decades as a generative mark of much of the artistic production. Actualizing Walter Benjamin’s and Aby Warburg’s concerns these pages try to think about the archive paradigm in relation to the exhibition En nuestra pequeña region de por acá (MALBA, 2016) of the Chilean artist Voluspa Jarpa who extremes the productivity of a notion that is not only the support of her work but the very essence of her positioning about memory, history and the ways of giving account of them. The exhibition draws from the CIA unclassified archives in fourteen Latin-American countries in order to think the relationships between politics, history and image. Archival logic requires its own way of reading, the deconstruction of the montage away from the legal-administrative logic and its own exploration of the aesthetic-politic potentialities as counter-archive.
