Rethinking Conceptualism: Avant-Garde, Activism and Politics in Latin American Art (1960s-1980s)

 

10.3. – 31.3.2021, 18.00 h (UTC+01, Berlin):

Online Symposium, Exhibition, Workshops:

Between the 1960s and 1980s, several Latin American countries were under military rule. At that time, there was a wave of mass awakening, a surge of social awareness in Latin America calling for more social justice, influenced mainly by the Cuban Revolution (1953-1959), amongst other socialist initiatives. Under these conditions, a number of artists across Latin America turned to art as a tool for demonstration, aiming to foster social change. Artists and critics also looked for ways to describe this artistic production, identifying aspects they considered characteristic of the Latin American subcontinent.

Within this framework, the symposium presents an overview of conceptual art practices in Latin America from the 1960s to the 1980s, showing its characteristics and particularities that set it apart from the mainstream conceptualist art canon in Europe and the U.S. Additionally, the project strives to make visible the links between Latin America and Germany, by showing the work of the protagonists of that period and their ties to Germany, and by presenting an exhibition of works by Latin American artists living in Berlin, who depict their view of Latin America from the diaspora.
