28

Another way to tell the story and billboards appear the painter Rodolfo Campodonico in outside of one of the most important museums Lauquen Trenque .

are 28 images that cover the history, between the arrival from Europe to America and the particular idea of \u200b\u200b"progress" that the positivist generation of 80 installed in the country.

The man-horse presented as a unit, the English bull brandishing a sword, the cross as part of the legitimation of conquest and slaughter, the ruthless nature for newcomers to the violent sexual mixing between English and Indian , the synthesis mixture in the gaucho, his role in the British invasion and revolutionary times, work in "slaughter", the text (Esteban Echeverría) is installed as strong as Facundo de Sarmiento in reading social, political and cultural must necessarily be the arrival of the railroad, the telegraph, and with them the "Campaign to the Desert" (which had nothing of "wilderness" and not the lack of population fertile land white), integration into the International Division of Labor and the agro-export model as input Argentino, alluvial immigration surge and so on ...

worth visit, day or night, because a perfect illuminated can fully appreciate and it is also worth observing them with a critical eye to the point of view of its author: set Rodolfo Campodonico, can be crossed by other views, as subjective as the painting itself that multiple images from their talks.

watched them as a historical document and social , oblivious too much on purely aesthetic (beautiful) and I can say that from its connotation (ie not only from what they show as an act of description of a portion of reality), these billboards speak to us in a language that we need to know as inhabitants of this region west of Buenos Aires: speak of "culture shock" but at the same time a triumphant and another massacre, we talk about raids and at the same time defensive trenches (I consider them more defensive for native people than for whites), we speak of modernity: telegraphs, railroads, Remington rifles and at the same time of struggle and resistance overwhelmed, we speak of a militant generation "modernized" the country while the high price paid by "non-functional" to the scheme.

As inferred, as deduced, the contextualization we do, that beautiful example of Campodonico, the entries themselves Trenque Lauquen question us about our birth as a region: Commands , forts and Towns Campaign: Military Procurement, Quartering of soldiers and Dry Port (our people), intended to carry raw materials, produced by immigrants exploited by the regime of the lease and enjoyed by the privileged at the time.

Understanding our region's history helps to understand the complexity of the present time, the fight "the field" against any attempt to state intervention, although in the beginning, in the distribution of land, in the act of rapiñaje hectares and hectares, was the state, administered by the dominant sectors which galvanized the richness of ranchers, now turned into something else today, but just as negligent as to understand others. Been serving the privilege itself, the state as a tool of inclusion does not. A constant in Argentina life must necessarily be overcome, but it is not hard battle and profound ideas, politics, debate, synthesis.
