Postcrisis. The power of art practices and images
June 22/23/24 2009
The 21st century started in 2001. The crisis that shook the world at that moment found its privileged example in Argentine. Despite what the paradigm of multiculturalism had heralded, the world did not enter an era marked by the peaceful co-existence of differences, rather, these were multiplied and radicalised in confrontation and war. Market forces, curators and museums did not demobilised images of art. Rather, art and culture becamed enmeshed in the crisis, they gave rise to new debates and played their part in reinventing a politics of collaboration and survival.
This seminar will focus in the ways in which art was boosted by the Argentinian crisis. It will also pay attention to the tensions and frictions between artistic practices and institutional limits, considering some of the forms these tensions took in Latin American art from the sixties.
