The edition is probably the more comprehensive book on Alberto Greco (b. Argentina 1931-1965) that has been published to date, comprising texts from different authors, letters, photographs, unpublished documents and a series of drawings made by artist Alberto Passolini, that recreate Grecoœs ephemeral artworks of which they are no records. Although in an attempt to clarify some aspects of his life, through the contribution of new documentation, we did not intended to distinguish to the extreme reality from fiction, myth from reality, but more precisely - to respect the rules of the game, we tried to "stretch" the legend and include more information about some episodes from imaginative strategies. We understand that, for certain, the interpretations proposed by the drawings of Passolini provide a new perspective that enriches what is so far known." (HKB Translation) --Page 22.

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 Dematerialization and the Social Materiality of Art Elize Mazadiego interprets experimental art practices that negated the object’s primacy, developing new materialities rooted in Argentina’s changing social life and transformative experiences of modernization in the 1950s and 1960s.
This landmark anthology collects for the first time the key historical documents that helped give definition and purpose to the conceptual art movement. Compared to other avant-garde movements that emerged in the 1960s, conceptual art has received relatively little serious attention by art historians and critics of the past twenty-five years—in part because of the difficult, intellectual nature of the art. This lack of attention is particularly striking given the tremendous influence of conceptual art on the art of the last fifteen years, on critical discussion surrounding postmodernism, and on the use of theory by artists, curators, critics, and historians.
