Descripción

Review For decades, critic and curator Gerardo Mosquera has consistently been at the forefront of the most vital changes in South and North American art. He has a very keen eye and a deep sense of social responsibility, qualities that he has now brought to bear in his latest book, on Chilean art and criticism. Chile should be thrilled to have such an ideal spokesman, and the rest of us should take note that if Mosquera is writing about it, then this long-overlooked artistic scene is about to have its day. (Dan Cameron, New York) –Dan CameronWith the collaboration of the most important Chilean curators, critics and artists, this book on contemporary art in Chile organized by curator and globetrotter Gerardo Mosquera- is a welcome contribution. I believe that this publication offers the international public an up-to-date vision of the forces and frictions at work on the artistic and intellectual scene in Chile. Due to the deformations effected by the jet set and their trendy circuits, this scene has been unfairly neglected and is, therefore, largely unknown.
