Archivo Político Vivo: Paloma Nùñez-Regueiro
Join us for the opening of Archivo Político Vivo, an exhibition of work created by Paloma Nùñez-Regueiro during her artist residency at Signal-Return from March through July of 2025. This exhibition includes Archivo Político Vivo, an art book that contains a collection of carefully curated phrases, titles, lyrics, and commentary written with a pictographic typeface created by her. It will also include process work, prints, and plates. In the artist’s words - “Archivo Político Vivo is an artist book compiled and printed during my artist residency at Signal-Return in Detroit. Within its category of artist book it also is an accordion book bound in a Swiss-style binding. It comprises fifty three printed pages, half of them are printed with movable type and the other half is printed with a pictographic text created by me. This book is a compilation of historical document titles of US interventions in Latin America from 1823 to 2001, and a collection of carefully curated poems, lyrics, and commentary written with a pictographic typeface that timely matches the issued documents printed with movable type. These songs, poems, and phrases are now part of Latin American culture, folklore, and oral tradition.”
