Beyond the Fantastic: Contemporary Art Criticism from Latin America

Copublished with the Institute of International Visual Arts London. This anthology edited by Cuban art historian and critic Gerardo Mosquera offers a wide selection of writings by some of the most important cultural theoreticians of contemporary Latin America. Together they comprise a distinctive corpus of new theoretical discourses critical of modernity and solidly and pragmatically anti-utopian. The collection balances traditional and popular aesthetic-symbolic production as well as Afro- and Indo-American presences in the visual arts and covers the whole of the Americans including the Caribbean and the United States.Contributors : Ma Amor.
