Blockbuster: Cinema for exhibitions, a group exhibition investigating how a number of important contemporary artists working with film and video have been influenced by specific issues that lie in the work of the great filmmakers of the twentieth century. Produced by CIAC (Isabel and Agustín Coppel Collection) and curated by Jens Hoffmann (Director of the CCA Wattis Institute for Contemporary Arts, San Francisco), the sample, which was presented previously at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Monterrey, Mexico (MARCO) - , the museum recreates the cinematic experience, and explore the influence of 20th-century filmmakers such as Ingmar Bergman, Alfred Hitchcock and Roberto Rossellini on contemporary video artists. Each artist has been invited to choose a film to screen along with their own work, and participants include Eija-Liisa Ahtila, Abraham Cruzvillegas, Douglas Gordon, Rodney Graham, Runa Islam, Steve McQueen and Anri Salarelated plays that have been the starting point for the development of body art video artists participating: Bani Abidi, Eija-Liisa Ahtila, Ziad Antar, Manon de Boer, Bruce Conner, Abraham Cruzvillegas, Keren Cytter, Tacita Dean, Stan Douglas, Omer Fast, Luke Fowler, Yang Fudong, Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster, Douglas Gordon, Rodney Graham, Pierre Huyghe, Runa Islam, Daria Martin, Steve McQueen, and Anri Sala Mrjen Valrie. As a key element of the curatorial thesis presents a cycle composed of the film selections of the artists. In this way, the exhibition comprises a selection of video art and a film series, divided into five programs that will change every three weeks. The overall composition of Blockbuster: Film exhibition was designed with the intention of creating a new relationship between exposure and spectator: for constant rotation programs can be experienced in full, spectators are required to regularly visit the museum. This is intended to promote a more active dialogue between audience and institution.
