The Alejandro Otero Museum inaugurated the exhibition “Alejandro Otero Documentary”, an exhibition that pays homage to one of the greatest exponents of Venezuelan kinetic art.

The proposal brings together emblematic works and documentary material that allows us to approach the integral dimension of Alejandro Otero, highlighting his legacy in geometric abstraction, critical thinking and his commitment to artistic modernity, according to the Ministry for Culture.

Through pieces from the museum's collection and archives of the Alejandro Otero Documentation Center, the exhibition covers key stages in his career, from the series “The Coffee Makers” to the “Coloritmos”, in addition to his role as an essayist and cultural promoter.

The director of the venue, Efraín Rojas, pointed out that the exhibition allows the public to learn not only about the artist's work, but also fundamental aspects of his life and creative process.

“This exhibition shows a documentary of Alejandro Otero's work. In addition, you will be able to find documents that reflect the life of the Master (...) with this exhibition we wanted to make available to the public not only the work itself, but also to have the opportunity to consult an important journey in the life of Alejandro Otero,” he said.

In the curatorial field, Richard Aranguren was responsible for managing the exhibition project. “By observing sketches, finished works, photographs and reflections by the author himself and the critic, we glimpse part of the true dimension of Otero, committed to that incessant search to understand the order of the universe and his responsibility as an artist in the face of history,” he said.

The exhibition invites visitors to explore Otero's legacy through documents, photographs and works that reveal his constant aesthetic search and influence on contemporary Venezuelan art.
