Abstract

IGLESIAS-SANCHEZ, Brenda Úrsula. Heterotopic Latin America: to define contemporary art and some curatorial experiences. Índex [online]. 2018, n.5, pp.62-69. ISSN 2477-9199.  https://doi.org/10.26807/cav.v0i04.137.

The purpose of this article is to go through different curatorial experiences in, from and about Latin America to define contemporary art, from the voices of the artists themselves, curators, researchers and critics. In the interweaving of such discourses, the debate focuses on time and space as determining variables; the temporality to which art is subscribed in a non-linear way and in correspondence with the juxtaposition of its spaces of representation. In this way, the concept of Heterotopia proposed by Michael Foucault is cited to address and characterize contemporary art from the logic of the contemporary global world and heterogeneity as a principle of cultural coexistence.

Keywords : Contemporary Art; Latin America; Heterotopy; Curators; Spain; Bolivia; Mexico.
