Spanish term or phrase: puesta en solfa
A text by a Spanish cultural critic:

En respuesta, la presente propuesta quiere apuntar hacia algunas de las transformaciones radicales, de base, que la emergencia de la crisis del sida traerá consigo en relación con la producción estética: el paso final en la alteración de las relaciones público-privado; la re-ocupación del espacio de la representación y el ecosistema mediático; una nueva y definitiva puesta en solfa de la institución Museo;

Does this mean to expose the farse of?? to mock? to ridicule?

Thanks!
