The MADI Movement was created in Buenos Aires in 1946 by Carmelo Arden Quin and other artists who had already collaborated with the magazine “Arturo” a few years before. They were moved by the desire to modify the traditional concept of “painting”, aiming to create a work that wanted to be itself exclusively: ninguna expresión, ninguna representación, ninguna significación. [no expression, no representation, no meaning] It is a step ahead of the iconic art’s achievements after Concretism and Constructivism that involved Latin American artists. In the 1950’s after the founder of the MADI movement moved to Paris, it involved many European artists as well.

This exhibition at Factory 49 in Sydney is the first one of this innovative MADI movement to be seen in Australia. Today the MADI movement is made up of about 80 artists spread in various groups in Argentina, France, Italy, Hungary, Belgium, USA, Spain, Germany, Sweden, United Kingdom, Slovakia, the Netherlands and Japan. Through their work they give a modern and original testimony on how MADI exists as thought, experimentation, invention, conscience and knowledge, re-elaboration of traditional techniques and stimulant research of new forms and materials, together with the development of today’s society.
