Telenovela: Hijacking and Autonomy in the Neo Baroque World is an ongoing research project by artist Carla Garlaschi. Through the appropriation of Latin American-labeled entertainment products, she aims to portray or address matters related to contemporary art. The project’s backbone is Garlaschi’s writing in the form of a romance novel, which includes a soap opera trailer, a dramatised artist statement, posters and banners.  The project also includes pop songwriting in collaboration with the reggaeton producer Talisto and the party installation Quinceañera curated by Olivia Berkowicz. In this way, formats that have reached a globalised character by embracing flexibility towards the market, may be stressed as syncretic grounds for confrontation.

The exhibition includes a laser print poster, vinyl with LED-lights and video work The Rise of the Latin American Artist, 2016.
