This work sought to understand the role of the artist, Humberto Espíndola in the  formation of institutionalized visual memories, in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul. For this purpose, we opted to investigate the exhibition entitled – A Panorama of the history of plastic arts in Mato Grosso do Sul through the MARCO Collection, held in 2004, under the artist’s curatorship. In the context, we questioned four issues explored in the exhibition: the genealogical formation processes (selected artists); the managerial goals (exhibitions and galleries, et cetera); the memorial and identity concepts that consolidated the representations in and out from Art History; and the visibility in terms of museums of a heterogeneous collection. A critical and contextualized presentation of Espíndola’s work is also presented.
