Publication accompanying the similar titled exhibition dedicated to the practice of María Teresa Hincapié (1954–2008) in Corporación Museo de Arte Moderno de Medellín (MAMM), and MACBA Museu d’Art Contemporani de Barcelona (2022-2023). Hincapié was a Colombian artist specialised in what might be called ‘the poetics of everyday life’ in performance. Eschewing any specific categorisation, her practice oscillated between life, creation in motion, ecology and a search for mysticism. Art was the raison d’être of her existence, not only providing a framework for her creativity but also influencing her ethics and understanding of politics. At the end of the nineties, she acquired some land (La Fruta) in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta where she created an artists’ residence that she called Aldea-escuela, a project that she kept going until her final days. Hincapié was convinced that living in a community was a way of producing knowledge and an essential vehicle for its transmission.
