Intercambios trasandinos
Los trabajos reunidos en este libro fueron escritos por un nutrido grupo de especialistas y se organizan en tres ejes: “Viajes y tránsitos”, “Poéticas y posicionamientos” y “Redes e instituciones”. En ellos se abordan cuestiones como la geopolítica y la construcción simbólica del paisaje; la institucionalidad, los proyectos alternativos y las exposiciones como dispositivos para reflexionar sobre lo regional; el rol de las imágenes en las tramas de la política, entre fervores revolucionarios, dictaduras, exilios y recuperación democrática; las técnicas, tecnologías y materialidades de la producción artística; el género, el cuerpo y los discursos sobre el arte producido por mujeres; los relatos y las fuentes de la historiografía del arte, y los desplazamientos regionales e internacionales de artistas y obras.
Inverted Utopias
In the twentieth century, avant-garde artists from Mexico, Central and South America, and the Caribbean created extraordinary and highly innovative paintings, sculptures, assemblages, mixed-media works, and installations. This innovative book presents more than 250 works by some seventy of these artists (including Gego, Joaquin Torres-Garcia, Xul Solar, and Jose Clemente Orozco) and artists' groups, along with interpretive essays by leading authorities and newly translated manifestoes and other theoretical documents written by the artists. Together the images and texts showcase the astonishing artistic achievements of the Latin American avant-garde. The book focuses on two decisive periods: the return from Europe in the 1920s of Latin American avant-garde pioneers; and the expansion of avant-garde activities throughout Latin America after World War II as artists expressed their independence from developments in Europe and the United States. As the authors explain, during these periods Latin American art was fueled by the belief that artistic creations could present a form of utopia - an inversion of the original premise that drove the European avant-garde - and serve as a model for

Arte americano
Papers presented during the 3rd Meeting of Art History celebrated in Valparaiso in 2006 and where for the first time Pre-Columbian art was included as one of the main categories. The central topic of this edition was dedicated to the spectator and the perception of art with papers centered in the analysis of morphological and iconographic elements to reconstruct how artwork was perceived in the past and the multiple views of the present. Presentations are divided into the follwing catelgories: Arte Precolombino; Arte Virreinal; Arte en el siglo XIX; arte contemporáneo.
Conceptualism in Latin American Art
Conceptualism played a different role in Latin American art during the 1960s and 1970s than in Europe and the United States, where conceptualist artists predominantly sought to challenge the primacy of the art object and art institutions, as well as the commercialization of art. Latin American artists turned to conceptualism as a vehicle for radically questioning the very nature of art itself, as well as art's role in responding to societal needs and crises in conjunction with politics, poetry, and pedagogy. Because of this distinctive agenda, Latin American conceptualism must be viewed and understood in its own right, not as a derivative of Euroamerican models. In this book, one of Latin Am...
In and Out of View
In and Out of View models an expansion in how censorship is discursively framed. Contributors from diverse backgrounds, including artists, art historians, museum specialists, and students, address controversial instances of art production and reception from the mid-20th century to the present in the Americas, Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. Their essays, interviews, and statements invite consideration of the shifting contexts, values, and needs through which artwork moves in and out of view. At issue are governmental restrictions and discursive effects, including erasure and distortion resulting from institutional policies, canonical processes, and interpretive methods. Crucial considerations concerning death/violence, authoritarianism, (neo)colonialism, global capitalism, labor, immigration, race, religion, sexuality, activism/social justice, disability, campus speech, and cultural destruction are highlighted. The anthology-a thought-provoking resource for students and scholars in art history, museum and cultural studies, and creative practices-represents a timely and significant contribution to the literature on censorship.
Memorias Visuales
¿Qué puede encontrar aquí un lector interesado en el arte actual de Chile? No son estos los escritos de un artista (según T.S. Eliot, los poetas no aprecian a otros poetas, si lo hicieran tendrían el mismo proyecto). No son tampoco los de un galerista, que busca sobre todo entusiasmar a un posible comprador con ánimo de armar una colección. No son tampoco como los de los curadores, que muchas veces arman una narrativa propia en la que las obras tienen apenas el papel de una ilustración. Una aproximación a lo que esta escritura es tendría que ver, tal vez, con el amargo y fascinante ejercicio de traducir. Esta vez no de un idioma a otro, sino de un trabajo de pensamiento que se hace con lo material y lo visible, a otro trabajo de pensamiento, hecho con palabras. Sabiendo siempre que con palabras no se puede realmente llegar a las obras, sabiendo que no se da nunca perfectamente en el blanco. En el mejor de los casos, se hace un gesto que de alguna manera corresponde a la obra. En el mejor de los casos, se logra abrir un buen espacio de conversación en torno a ella...

Breaking the Surface
In Breaking the Surface, Doug Bailey offers a radical alternative for understanding Neolithic houses, providing much-needed insight not just into prehistoric practice, but into another way of doing archaeology. Using his years of fieldwork experience excavating the early Neolithic pit-houses of southeastern Europe, Bailey exposes and elucidates a previously under-theorized aspect of prehistoric pit construction: the actions and consequences of digging defined as breaking the surface of the ground. Breaking the Surface works through the consequences of this redefinition in order to redirect scholarship on the excavation and interpretation of pit-houses in Neolithic Europe, offering detailed c...
