Episode Synopsis
Online Reading Session #5: Gerardo Mosquera "Art From Latin America (And Other Global Pulses)"
In this session, we discussed with Gerardo Mosquera questions around the definition of Latin American art and the Latin American identity. In his essays, Mosquera revisits these categories and reflects on how Latin American art has been included in the global art circuits, and warns us about the dangers of using fixed categories that might lead to a self-exoticism.
Part of the discussion was dedicated to his newest publication "Arte desde América Latina (y otros pulsos globales)" (Art From Latin America (And Other Global Pulses)), an anthology of essays written from 1992-2017, edited by Cátedra (Madrid) in 2020.
GERARDO MOSQUERA is an independent curator, writer, art critic and historian based in Havana and Madrid. He is advisor to the Rijksakademie van beeldende kunsten, Amsterdam, and member of the advisory board of several international art centres and journals. He was co-founder of the Havana Biennial, Curator at the New Museum of Contemporary Art, New York, Artistic Director of PHotoSpain, Madrid, and has curated a number of biennials and international exhibitions around the world, most recently the 21st Paiz Art Biennial, Guatemala, and "Useless. Machines for Dreaming, Thinking and Seeing", Bronx Museum, New York. He recently co-curated the 3rd edition of "Today Documents" for the Today Art Museum in Beijing. Mosquera received the Guggenheim Fellowship in 1990 and is author of numerous publications on contemporary art and art theory. His latest book is "Arte desde América Latina (y otros pulsos globales)", published this year.
