Punto de fuga hosts new and recent works by the 21 artists who have shaped Móvil’s site-responsive program and been transformed by the experience: paintings, drawings, sculptures, installations, and performances as well as lens-based and sound works that provide a rich multisensorial prism into the now. The title evokes the singular role played by Móvil as a refuge for artistic and discursive experimentation—a place granting artists time, space, and support to take risks. It also points to the critical situatedness of Móvil’s project, rooted in a disaffected factory in Buenos Aires and embedded in a constellation of elsewheres: Móvil as an uncontainable operator that leaks and flows, transforming its scene in stealthy yet undeniable ways. Punto de fuga condenses the centrifugal and centripetal forces that shape a community. Finally, Punto de fuga flies in the face of resignation to the purported inevitability of the current restructuring of the world. It wagers that we already have the codes to hack the neo-feudal savagery of post-neoliberalism, and the power to overthrow the dismantling of everything with grace and joy.
