Mexican artist Jorge Satorre participates in the Museo Universitario de Arte Contemporáneo's new collective exhibition, Tácticas del glitch.
Las oportunidades del fallo
, which explores the artistic practices present in the MUAC collection that benefit from the opportunities of glitch to intervene on the historical fabric.

Satorre presents the work "Los Negros (bricks)" (2011): In 2011 Jorge Satorre visited several times the village of Montereale Valcellina in the Italian Friuli, the place where Menocchio, the miller who stars in the book The Cheese and the Worms (1976) by Italian historian Carlo Ginzburg, lived and was sentenced to death by the Inquisition, a paradigmatic example of the historiographical methodology known as Italian microhistory.

Los negros is based on speculating about the possible existence of elements related to Ginzburg's text that do not appear in the book, taking up Satorre's experience as a reader and illustrator in which a tacit dialogue with the author and the text emerges. With the help of several collaborators, mainly Menocchio specialist Aldo Colonnello and researcher Davide Zanutta, the artist developed a series of works, starting from Ginzburg's book and interpreting vestiges found and stories collected during his stay in Montereale Valcellina.
