Two Selections from the Ella Fontanals Cisneros Collection
- The Sites of Latin American Abstraction Curated by: Juan Ledezma
The exhibition intends to explore a rarely addressed aspect of Latin American abstract art: to what extent the simultaneous development of an abstract movement in different artistic centers (Argentina and Uruguay, Brazil, Venezuela) responded to the cultural and socio-political need of reconsidering, on the basis of modernist art, the prospect of a previously much-discussed Latin American identity. Given such a broad scope, the exhibition proposes a series of intersections between developments mobilized by their own local histories. Those intersections coincide on a single node of inquiry: the construction of a Latin American subject in the post-war period.
- Forms of Classification: Alternative Knowledge and Contemporary Art Curated by Cecilia Fajardo-Hill
Since the 1960s contemporary artists have egaged critically with the ways in which knowledge is constructed. Authorized histories, stereotypes, memory, the human condition, gender issues, established forms of representation, technology, the everyday, language, the cultural institution--these are some of the some of the important issues that contemporary artists have been engaging critically and are still engaging today.
