Works by the Chilean artist, architect and film-maker Alfredo Jaar will be on display at the MACRO in Rome from May 2005. Works by the Chilean artist, architect and film-maker Alfredo Jaar, active on the international scene since the mid-1980s, will be on display at the MACRO in Rome from May 2005. Jaar is concerned with urgent issues of prime importance that are generally not confronted by the mass media, thus making art an alternative to the usual public information channels. For instance, he gave a face to the victims and witnesses of the genocide in Rwanda. Every one of his works reiterates art's commitment in the social context. His projects have been exhibited in some of the most important international contemporary art museums and at major exhibitions like the Paris and Venice Biennales and various Documenta in Kassel. Rome, 2005.
