50 años de Barrio Sésamo y 30 años de Los Simpsons

In 2019, two round birthdays of two great milestones of popular culture are celebrated, and the gallery could not miss. Sesame Street is 50 years old and it has had been the foundation of children’s education across the world all this time. It’s still part of the rite of passage and the simplicity of it continues to chime with kids of all ages. It hardly seems possible that it was three decades since The Simpsons aired but it is and the concept of a world that does not include Bart, Lisa, Homer and Marge seems inconceivable. Not to mention their full supporting cast of Springfield characters. The Matt Groening cartoon has seemed more real than reality in recent times. Both shows - having originally been conceived for television when it was a very different medium than it is now - have transcended all boundaries of culture. To that end, La Fiambrera pays tribute to these icons by exhibiting these special works by some of the gallery’s artists. These works interpret some well-known favourites as you’ve likely never seen them before.
