Claire Trevor School of the Arts and Department of Studio Art present a Major Works of Art Series, 1968: el culo te abrocho, by Roberto Jacoby. The UAG continues its Major Works of Art Series with Argentine artist Roberto Jacoby's 1968: el culo te abrocho, which combines Jacoby's political art experiments at the Instituto Di Tella in Buenos Aires during the 60s with his stint as the lyricist for the famous Argentine new wave band Virus in the '80s. Political posters from Jacoby's archive have been reprinted with super imposed, boldly colored snippets of Virus lyrics. Together, they provide a commentary on the utopian, poetic hopes that characterized the global cultural revolution of the 1960s. Jacoby's artwork from the mid 1960s defined a branch of "new media" conceptual art a full decade before such aesthetic experiments were made in the Northern Hemisphere.
