Latin American art through curatorship: representation policies and insertion modes

Abstract

This article approaches the conceptual construction of Latin American art that is realized from the structuring of contemporary curating, as a particular mode of artistic discourse. Thus, this presentation is divided into two parts: the first offers a brief genealogical exploration about curating and its links with the production conditions of globalized contemporary capitalism that allow its rise in a globalized artistic field. The second part analyzes the circulation of Latin American art through the curatorial representation, that generates a new way of understanding and insertion of Latin American artistic phenomenon on the global stage.
