“Sabado Gigante (Gigantic Saturday) is part of a series resulting from research through which I reproduce and re-contextualise a series of TV sets used by Latin American romantic ballad singers between the 60s and 90s. The aesthetic of these spaces show clear references to various modernist trends, which were appropriated in pop culture with the aspiration of symbolising progress – a stance that contradicts the music’s conservative and especially sexist discourse. Moreover, at the time, pop culture worked as the media through which massive audiences became consumers of avant-garde art, which in previous decades had been reserved for the intellectual elites.
