This book explores the collective cultural amnesia of North America concerning the art of its Southern neighbors, and attempts to revivify interest with an extensive survey of contemporary artists from such countries as Venezuela, Colombia, Argentina, and Brazil. Sixteen artists and four writers who either hail from these countries or are closely connected with them are given a forum in which to present both art and commentary on their place in the history of the Americas. Very nice clean, tight copy free of any marks.

About this title

Synopsis

As the title suggests, Amnesia explores South America as a forgotten continent within the context of a dominantly Western art world, examining how the issues reflected in contemporary discourse have been formed, shaped, and processed through a colonial history. Serving as the first major introduction of many of these artists to an international audience, this exhibition catalogue traces a variety of artistic, political, and cultural issues through the work of sixteen contemporary artists from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Peru, and Venezuela. Essays by Monica Amor, Dan Cameron, Charles Merewether, and Adriano Pedrosa.
