Excritura consiste en salir al encuentro de todo aquello que la cultura patriarcal niega, oprime, silencia y violenta. La excritura hace posible la experiencia desde la cual se configuran las personas. Este libro evidencia además que sin personas no es posible configurar una sociedad democrática. Recoge la experiencia de relacionar prácticas culturales y prácticas artísticas de alguna manera antagónicas; las prime-ras se ofrecen en los márgenes y en los humilladeros sociales, y las segundas son amparadas por los centros de poder estético y social. Tiene como referente el arte contemporáneo, es decir, aquellas prácticas formales que no solo se inventan su otro sin ocuparse de su propia legitimidad, sino que también lo materializan y com-prenden. El libro sigue de cerca algunos eventos artísticos y culturales gestionados por comunidades diversas (LGBTI), reseña y estudia la relevancia política de su pro-puesta estética.
Lotty Rosenfeld (*1943, Santiago de Chile), key founder of the Colectivo de Acciones de Arte (CADA) and one of the leaders of the so-called Escena de Avanzada, has exerted a profound influence on new generations of artists in Chile and in Latin America. Her art actions, especially her intervention to the transit sign, the video archive and the audio archive, became her central creative resource. By appropriating images of cinema, television and the internet as a common language and recombining them generally as non-linear narratives, she makes evident the impact of the loss of freedom in society, socioeconomic manipulations and the power of capitalism on everyday events in the world. Through an exhaustive research work, the author Alexia Tala, presents a selection of antholical and some unpublished texts, also delving into her sources of inspiration, her way of thinking and acting. Additionally, the publication presents an analysis of her trajectory, her impact in the art world, her history, key works, and projects that were neither disseminated nor known.

"This catalogue to accompany the museum exhibition traces the emergence of the artistic impulses to use the earth as material, land as medium, and to locate works in remote sites, beyond familiar art contexts. Significantly, "Ends of the Earth" challenges many myths about Land art--that it was primarily a North American phenomenon, that it was foremost a sculptural practice, and that it exceeds the confines of the art system. Featuring over 100 artists hailing from countries including Great Britain, Germany, Iceland, Israel, Japan, the Netherlands, and the United States, the exhibition constitutes the most comprehensive survey of Land art to date"--Provided by publisher.

"Outside the Lines was a six-part exhibition series conceived as an evolving dialogue on the state of abstraction in the twenty-first century."--Page 4 of cover.
“Genius?” The tall old man with the fan-shaped beard looked eagerly at his companion, then settled back more heavily against the rows and rows of old books lining the walls to the ceiling on all sides of the room. “Of course Edgar was a genius, but in spite of being a gambler and a drunkard—in spite of it, I tell you!” The other, a thin man of lesser years, his long, inquiring face meditative in the twilight, nodded. “You are right,” he agreed. “But what difference did it make? The only question is, would ‘The Raven’ have been any greater without his gambling and drinking? I doubt it.” The argument was on, and my uncle, Moses Polock, would lean forward now and again, wa...
