REMEX
REMEX presents the first comprehensive examination of artistic responses and contributions to an era defined by the North American Free Trade Agreement (1994–2008). Marshaling over a decade’s worth of archival research, interviews, and participant observation in Mexico City and the Mexico–US borderlands, Amy Sara Carroll considers individual and collective art practices, recasting NAFTA as the most fantastical inter-American allegory of the turn of the millennium. Carroll organizes her interpretations of performance, installation, documentary film, built environment, and body, conceptual, and Internet art around three key coordinates—City, Woman, and Border. She links the rise of 199...
Non-literary Fiction
"Non-literary Fiction examines contemporary art produced in Latin America in reaction to the growing tide of neoliberalism with its purging of specific social, ethnic, and racial meanings. Over decades, military juntas throughout South and Central America (often supported by the US) have brutally restricted freedom of movement and speech and caused whole segments of their populations to "disappear." Gabara shows how many Latin American artists since the late 1950s have strategically positioned their art as "fictions" in response to the social death and unspeakable violence that undergirds their experience. By "fictions," Gabara means a kind of art that encourages a beholder or participant to...
Transatlantic Encounters
Paris was the artistic capital of the world in the 1920s and '30s, providing a home and community for the French and international avant-garde. Latin American artists contributed to and reinterpreted nearly every major modernist movement that took place in the creative center of Paris between World War I and World War II, including Cubism (Diego Rivera), Surrealism (Antonio Berni and Roberto Matta), and Constructivism (Joaquin Torres-Garcia). Yet their participation in the Paris art scene has remained largely overlooked until now. This book examines their collective role, surveying the work of both household names and an extraordinary array of lesser-known artists. Michele Greet illuminates the significant ways in which Latin American expatriates helped establish modernism and, conversely, how a Parisian environment influenced the development of Latin American artistic identity.

Hagamos las paces.
Gozar de una Colombia en paz es, tal vez, uno de los pocos, acaso el único proyecto en común de los colombianos. El Acuerdo de paz firmado en 2016 inaugura un nuevo relato nacional en el que la paz es denuncia, propuesta e imaginación de vida que crea, inventa, controvierte e incomoda. En este libro, las artes documentan el hacer las paces en la Colombia del siglo xxi. Las diversas experiencias evocadas vislumbran vías inéditas de restauración de unos espíritus libres del odio y de la venganza mediante la desmovilización cultural de los imaginarios. En lo simbólico, las artes y las imagenes demuestran que hay miles de formas de hacer las paces.
Pensar la escena.
Con el auge que han tenido las nuevas tecnologías de la comunicación en años recientes, la crítica y los debates en torno al arte contemporáneo se han desplazado de los medios impresos al Internet. Pensar la escena presenta un conjunto de debates del campo del arte contemporáneo que han tenido lugar en Esfera Pública, portal de discusión en Internet en el que artistas, críticos y curadores han debatido colectivamente sobre la actividad artística, las prácticas institucionales y eventos como salones de arte, bienales, curadurías independientes e institucionales. El libro aborda seis temas sobre los que se ha reflexionado reiteradamente en este foro y que ponen en evidencia problem...

The Politics of Taste
In The Politics of Taste Ana María Reyes examines the works of Colombian artist Beatriz González and Argentine-born art critic, Marta Traba, who championed González's art during Colombia's National Front coalition government (1958–74). During this critical period in Latin American art, artistic practice, art criticism, and institutional objectives came into strenuous yet productive tension. While González’s triumphant debut excited critics who wanted to cast Colombian art as modern, sophisticated, and universal, her turn to urban lowbrow culture proved deeply unsettling. Traba praised González's cursi (tacky) recycling aesthetic as daringly subversive and her strategic localism as r...
