Gustavo Wojciechowski

Tapas (1979-2019), is the first solo exhibition in MNAV of Gustavo "Maca" Wojciechowski (Montevideo 1956) a graphic designer, illustrator, plastic artist, visual poet, teacher and editor who proposes a tour of forty years of work (in this case as a book illustrator, in the words of the curator of the exhibition, Alejandro Sequeira), through 400 book covers. The exhibition of covers of book, cassettes, records (vinyls and CDs) and MACA magazines (aka derived from Macachín, the name by which Gustavo Wojciechowski is best known), it is spatially divided into two MNAV rooms and temporarily in two centuries. And this distribution that begins in Room 1 (1979-2000) and culminates in Room 3 (2001-2019) gives an account of the variants produced in this noble trade ranging from analogue to digital: at the technological level, in its tools and different processes that carry.
