Preview: Minerva Cuevas in Season 8 of ART21 "Art in the Twenty-First Century" (2016)

For me the exhibition "Feast and Famine"

was very much a reference to the capitalist system,

considering the whole capitalist system

as a cannibalist process.

[MAN, IN SPANISH] It looks like blood, no?

[CUEVAS] Yes.

Because I think that puts together

two of the characteristics of capitalism--

you know, the exploitation of all the resources
in the planet.

So it’s all these feasts,

but at the end, we are reaching

the point of societies

that are dying of starvation.
