    Curatorial Practices

    Missão/Missões (How to Build Cathedrals) by Cildo Meireles
    Summary of Featured Art Issue

    This theme analyzes and reflects on the critical nature of curatorial practices within public and private cultural spaces in the Americas. Given the increasingly visible and mobile presence of the curator, the impact of this heightened profile on artistic practices, we offer this space as a site for debate and exchange on curatorial strategies and proposals, as well as reflections on institutional engagements.

  • Reciprocity: Interview with Federico Zukerfeld and Loreto Garín Guzmán
  • Interview with WHW Collective

    Art & Theory

    Hegel by José Antonio Hernández-Diez
    Summary of Featured Art Issue

    Knowledge of art and culture needs to be viewed in terms of geopolitics. This section fosters the dissemination and discussion of critical and analytical perspectives that help to contextualize art practices in the Americas, or that have a bearing on their processes and imaginaries. The idea is to encourage reflection about history while also promoting a change in the fields of contemporary criticism and cultural history. Dissolving and debating the center-periphery, local-global disconnection forms part of this project.

    In this art issue:

  • Book Review: Joaquín Barriendos' Geoesthetics and Transculturality
  • Interview with Walter Mignolo, part 1
  • Book Review: Don’t take your health seriously, Caracas
  • Experimental ethnography in Tomás Ochoa’s Medieval Indians Project
  • Interview at La Culpable, Lima Peru
