Yesterday I popped over to the wonderful South London Gallery in Camberwell to check out the preview of their latest show: Under the Same Sun: Art from Latin America Today.

The exhibition is the first from the gallery to be shown across two sites: their main building, and their new space just across the road, the former Peckham Road Fire Station.

The show brings together highlights from the Guggenheim’s collection of recently acquired Latin American art, including installation, painting, performance, photography, sculpture and video.

Here are just a few of those:

Over in the Fire Station, Jonathas de Adrade’s piece, Posters for the Museum of the Man of the Northeast (below) features 77 fake posters advertising the real Museum of the Northeastern Man in Recife, Brazil. Viewers are invited to move the posters around – effectively to rehang the room. Go on, unleash your internal curator.

Rivane Neuenschwander’s piece Mapa-Múndi/BR, below, invites viewers to select a postcard and send it to someone. Each of the postcards shows somewhere in Brazil that is named after somewhere not in Brazil: bars, churches and stores with names like Alaska, Baghdad, China and Las Vegas (a motel).

Back in the main gallery, Amalia Pica’s piece A ∩ B ∩ C features large primary coloured acrylic shapes stacked against the gallery walls, which are presented in a performance piece each week (Saturdays at 1pm).

The catalogue blurb for the piece says that the shapes: “refer to 1970s Argentina. During this period, set theory was forbidden from being taught in elementary classes, in response to a concern that it might ultimately prompt citizens to conspire against the military junta. In A ∩ B ∩ C, Pica invites performers to manipulate translucent colored shapes, producing new configurations that, emancipated from the historical anecdote, use abstraction and intersection as an invitation to reimagine forms of collaboration and community.”

So essentially these are rebellious Venn diagrams made real.

The show was previously on at the Guggenheim in NYC, and at the Museo Jumex in Mexico City. It’s part of the Guggenheim UBS MAP Global Art Initiative, which supports contemporary art and artists from three regions – South & Southeast Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East & North Africa — through acquisitions, curatorial residencies, exhibitions, and educational programmes.

The show alone is worth a visit, but there’s the extra incentive of getting to take a look at the gallery’s new site, the Grade II listed former Peckham Road Fire Station.

It’s just a few doors down from the main gallery, across the road next to the current fire station. Donated to the gallery by an anonymous benefactor, only the ground floor is currently open, and it’s only open for the duration of this show, before a full refit begins ahead of the re-opening in 2018. So it’s worth getting in there for a look while you can.

The show opens tomorrow, and runs until 4 September 2016.
