Gathering artists whose work appeared in the influential magazine published by Mexico’s Museo de Arte Moderno and directed by Carla Stellweg from 1973 to 1981, the exhibition calls attention to an international community of experimental makers. Featuring artworks by Álvaro Barrios (Colombia), Luis Camnitzer (Uruguay and the United States), Antonio Caro (Colombia), Manuel Felguérez (Mexico), Vicente Rojo (Spain and Mexico), Regina Vater (Brazil), Anna Bella Geiger (Brazil), Jorge Caraballo (Uruguay), Alfredo Portillos (Argentina), Marta Palau (Spain and Mexico), Victor Grippo (Argentina) and others, this rigorously researched exhibition and accompanying catalog demonstrate how this groundbreaking periodical expanded the bounds of art and cultivated a community for innovative creative practice. Curated by Harper Montgomery, Director of the Hunter College Art Galleries, with MA and MFA students enrolled in the Advanced Curatorial Certificate Seminar and curatorial student fellows: Reuben Gordon, Lisa Mason, and Grace Sanabria. This exhibition is organized in collaboration with the Institute for Studies on Latin American Art (ISLAA).
