DESAFORADOS / Solo Show presented in METRO:plataformaorganizada / May 25 - June 16, 2012
DESAFORADOS presenta un conjunto de obras realizadas en el 2012 en las que incluye objetos, instalaciones y readymades. Mediante el uso de objetos de alto contenido simbólico la muestra comenta sobre la división de poderes dentro del gobierno, el abuso de poder de parte de los mismos y como los manifestantes son el reflejo de los abusos.
¿Nos hemos alejado del abuso de poder al separar el poder en tres funciones: legislativo, ejecutivo y judicial? ¿Debería ser la justicia la finalidad del Estado? [...] Muchas veces el hombre se encuentra protegido contra otros hombres, más no contra el propio Estado, el cual podría oprimirlo impunemente mediante las facultades coercitivas que le ha otorgado la propia colectividad.

“DESAFORADOS” [which may be translated in many ways, including outrageous, excessive, extravagant, unbridled, out of control, or violated and transgressed, among many other meanings] includes objects, installations, and “ready-mades.” In this new project, by using highly symbolic objects, Vila Rivero comments on the division of power within the government, as well as abuse of power and its consequences. During all stages of humanity, people have suffered from abuse of authority by their rulers, which has caused given way to significant movements against abusive government actions; often, humans are protected against other humans, but not against the State itself, which may at times oppress with impunity, due to the coercive powers given to it by the community itself. “Desaforados” explores abuses of power, state protection for “insiders,” reaping profit, corruption, embezzlement, and the act of “getting away with it,” while escaping the appropriate penalties.
