Press Release:

The title of SITElines.2018 references Argentine writer Julio Cortázar’s 1946 short story “Casa tomada” (House Taken Over), which follows two bourgeois siblings who rarely leave their ancestral home. As a disruptive and unexplained presence begins to occupy parts of the house, they are eventually forced out onto the street without any material possessions except a wristwatch and a key.

“Casa tomada” is a complex tale of class and dispossession. Who belongs—when, where, how, and why—is a line of questioning that also informs this exhibition. The events that rupture communities, the building and severing of monuments, the displacement and resettle-ment of people, and the clearing and occupation of places are central concerns. In this exhibition fragments of language, of material, of history, of culture, reveal the unattainability of the whole.
