From the 2015 Prince Claus Awards Committee Report:
Etcetera (1997, Buenos Aires) is a provocative, public-art collective that responds to and creates awareness of political and social problems. Bold, direct and transgressive, their accessible, playful yet serious interventions are characterised by theatrical display, parody, absurdity, confusion and surprise. Generating active participation, they blur the boundaries between art and life.
Co-founded by Loreto Garín Guzmán (1977, Valparaíso) and Federico Zukerfeld (1979, Buenos Aires) together with other artists and activists, Etcetera takes art to the streets at specific sites and political events and also presents problematic social and political issues in official art institutions.
Etcetera staged stunning theatrical pieces, such as masked people playing out torture scenes with huge dummies, to protest against the impunity of Argentina’s military dictatorship in the 1990s and the 2001 crisis. In 2005 they founded the International Errorist Movement – with the manifesto declaration ‘We are all errorists’ – to protest George W. Bush attending the Summit of the Americas.
Actions included the landing of an errorist army carrying toy guns, triggering a major police deployment, and the invasion of Buenos Aires streets by masked errorists driving commando trucks and armed with cardboard machine guns emitting the word ‘Bang’, satirically reproducing the constructed enemy in the war on terror and denouncing its absurdity. Their intervention on religion’s relation to global financial crises, Errar de Dios (Erring from God), is a theatrical installation featuring characters like Angela Merkel, God, Monsanto, St Paul and Goldman Sachs among others, and includes a ‘Petition to Pope Francis for the final abolition of hell’. Etcetera is awarded for developing participatory art practices and public interventions in Argentina and internationally; for their creative originality; for their refusal to allow the normalisation of injustice; for insisting on relating history to the present moment and the local to international struggles; and for their profound, responsible social engagement and mobilisation of communities in Argentina and beyond.
