The aforementioned "transported places" of Robbins and Becher can not be understood separately from their causes and consequences, as in most cases the dislocation of the situation is created from great problems throughout history (slavery, colonialism, the Holocaust ...). The exhibition at the ICO Museum, which takes part in the PhotoEspaña 2016 festival, includes pieces which make evident the influence of documentary photography in the couple of artists, who have added a conceptual and socially critical perspective.
The organization of the exhibition has been held by the Museum für Gegenwartskunst Siegen. It has been divided on the following series: "Black Cowboys" (2008-2016), "Colonial Remains" (1991), "German Indians" (1997-1998),"Figures ..." (2002), Global Village (2003-2005), "770" and "the East's West" (2016).
The exhibition will be complemented by external but related events, such as the presentation of the book "Black Cowboys" or a round table to be attended by Andrea Robbins, Max Becher and Eva Schmidt. This event takes place on May 31 at the headquarters of the Goethe-Institut Madrid.
