MEXICO CITY.- The term cannibalism, just like Oswaldo Andrade
interprets it in 1928, becomes very useful when discussing Modern Art in Latin
America. Inspire on the digestive system, Andrade proposed that local culture
should devour and transform modern art lessons- mainly European- in order to
articulate a regional proposal with its own significance. Even if a proper
methodology for Latin American comes out form such proposal, it leaves aside the
active role several Latin American artists played in the conformation of
artistic discourses and practices, both, in Europe and United States throughout
the XX century. On view through 29 September.
