MASP Seminars | Soto | 05.11.2025 (English)
The Soto Seminar proposes to reflect, from new perspectives, on the work of Venezuelan artist Jesús Soto (1923–2005), a leading figure in kinetic art and Latin American modernism. By dissolving rigid boundaries between spectator and artwork and incorporating movement as a determining factor in artistic experience, Soto contributed decisively to theoretical debates that remain urgent today, such as notions of immateriality, interaction, and virtuality.Specialists in his oeuvre will present papers on the conceptual principles that guided his practice, from the artistic and political contexts of Venezuela to his trajectory in Paris from the 1950s onward. By tracing constellations of references and projecting his interests into the future—such as music and the interplay between matter and energy—the seminar seeks to highlight the relevance and reach of Soto’s work beyond Latin American borders, underscoring the emergence of alternative discursive centers in the global field.
The event, held in partnership with the Institute for Studies on Latin American Art, is part of the preparatory activities for the exhibition dedicated to Soto that will take place in 2026 at MASP.
