opening September 17th
Más de 60 obras de video arte de América Latina, muchas de las cuales nunca fueron vistas anteriormente en EE. UU., serán presentadas en una exhibición emblemática en LAXART del 16 de septiembre al 16 de diciembre de 2017 como parte de la iniciativa artística Pacific Standard Time: LA/LA de Getty que abarca toda la ciudad. Organizado por LAXART en colaboración con el Getty Research Institute (GRI), Video arte en América Latina contempla los innovadores logros e importantes tendencias temáticas en el video arte latinoamericano desde la década de 1960 hasta la actualidad.
“Hemos trabajado con cientos de artistas,
curadores y académicos en más de una docena de países para trazar las
narrativas históricas del campo”, dijo Glenn Phillips, jefe de Colecciones
Modernas y Contemporáneas del Getty Research Institute y cocurador de la exhibición.
“Muy pocas colecciones de museos e investigaciones en los Estados Unidos contienen
trabajo en video de América Latina. A través de esta exhibición y de nuestra continua
investigación, buscamos no solo exponer al público a un importante medio de expresión
artística de América Latina, sino también proporcionar los recursos y el acceso
para futuras investigaciones y becas”.
La aparición del video arte en América
Latina está marcada por varios puntos de desarrollo escalonados en más de una
docena de centros artísticos a lo largo de más de 25 años. Los primeros
experimentos con el video en América Latina comenzaron en Argentina y Brasil en
las décadas del sesenta y setenta, respectivamente. A finales de la década del
setenta, los artistas de Colombia, México y Puerto Rico comenzaron a utilizar
el video. Los artistas de Chile, Cuba y Uruguay que emprendieron el medio en la
década de los ochenta, noventa y dos mil, y observaron los movimientos de video
arte que surgieron en Ecuador, Guatemala y Costa Rica.
“A finales del siglo XX, los primeros
equipos portátiles de video, en particular el Portapak, representaron un medio
de comunicación descentralizado para expresar la voz de la oposición. En este
momento, los artistas de video posicionaron el cuerpo como el lugar de expresión
en contextos políticos traumáticos”, dijo la curadora Elena Shtromberg. “Los
video artistas contemporáneos en América Latina continúan en la búsqueda de
temas sociales, explorando ideas sobre género, identidad étnica y racial, como
también las consecuencias de la desigualdad social, los desastres ecológicos y
la violencia global”.
En LAXART, ubicado en Hollywood, los visitantes
se encontrarán con varias instalaciones inmersivas de video arte en el centro
del espacio de la exhibición, así como tres galerías que presentan videos de un
solo canal organizados en seis programas temáticos que incluyen: The Organic Line
(La Línea Orgánica), Defiant Bodies (Cuerpos Desafiantes), States of Crisis
(Estados de Crisis), Economías del Trabajo (Economies of Labor), Borders and Migrations
(Fronteras y Migraciones), y Memory and Forgetting (Memoria y Olvido). Una característica
importante de la exhibición es una biblioteca especialmente seleccionada que es
contigua a los espacios de la galería. Esta biblioteca de acceso público
funcionará como una sala de estudio para el Video in Latin American Art que
ofrecerá decenas de libros sobre el tema, incluidos muchos libros que están
fuera de circulación o, de lo contrario, difíciles de encontrar en los EE. UU.
Los artistas participantes son Pável Aguilar, Alejandra Alarcón, Sonia Andrade, Geraldo Anhaia Mello, Lucas Bambozzi, Angie Bonino, Javier Bosques, Patricia Bueno & Susana Torres, Javier Calvo, Gloria Camiruaga, Ulises Carrión, José Castrellón, Colectivo Zunga, Donna Conlon & Jonathan Harker, Analívia Cordeiro, Ximena Cuevas, Sandra De Berduccy, Alejandra Delgado, Gastón Duprat & Mariano Cohn, Juan Manuel Echavarría, Erika & Javier, Magdalena Fernández, Regina José Galindo, Adriana García Galán, Mario García Torres, Luis Gárciga, Anna Bella Geiger, Adela Goldbard, Gabriela Golder, Cao Guimarães & Rivane Neuenshwander, Karlo Andrei Ibarra, Mariana Jurado, Maria Laet, Jessica Lagunas, Diego Lama, Glenda León, Alejandro Leonhardt & Matias Rojas Valencia, Cinthia Marcelle, Luis Mata & Juan Carlos Portillo, Adrián Melis, Jason Mena, Joiri Minaya, Ronald Morán, Carlos Motta, Gisela Motta, Leandro Lima & Claudia Andujar, Oscar Muñoz, Charly Nijensohn, Clemente Padín, Patricio Palomeque, Leticia Parente, Antonio Paucar, Enrique Ramírez, Berna Reale, José Alejandro Restrepo, Miguel Angel Ríos, Alex Rivera, Lotty Rosenfeld, Nicolás Rupcich, Ernesto Salmerón, Martín Sastre, Regina Silveira, Carlos Trilnick, Unidad Pelota Cuadrada, Pola Weiss y Tatyana Zambrano.

More than 60 works of
video art from Latin America, many never before seen in the U.S., will
be presented in a landmark exhibition at LAXART from September 17
through December 16, 2017 as part of the Getty’s city-wide art initiative Pacific Standard Time: LA/LA. Organized by LAXART in collaboration with the Getty Research Institute (GRI),
Video Art in Latin America surveys groundbreaking achievements and
important thematic tendencies in Latin American video art from the 1960s
until today.
“We have worked with
hundreds of artists, curators, and scholars in more than a dozen
countries to trace historical narratives of the field,” said Glenn
Phillips, head of modern and contemporary collections at the Getty
Research Institute and co-curator of the exhibition. “Very few museum
and research collections in the United States contain video work from
Latin America. Through this exhibition and our ongoing research, we seek
not only to expose audiences to an important medium of artistic
expression from Latin America, but also to provide resources and access
for future research and scholarship.”
The exhibition is part of an
ongoing Getty Research Institute research project undertaken by the
exhibition curators Glenn Phillips (GRI) and Elena Shtromberg
(University of Utah) on projects related to video art in Latin America
since 2004. Since 2013, Shtromberg and Phillips have been conducting
extensive research in Latin America, visiting with artists, curators,
and scholars and organizing several major public screenings.
The emergence of video art in
Latin America is marked by staggered and multiple points of development
across more than a dozen artistic centers over a period of more than 25
years. The earliest experiments with video in Latin America began in
Argentina and Brazil in the 60s and 70s, respectively. In the late 1970s
artists in Colombia, Mexico, and Puerto Rico began to use video.
Artists in Chile, Cuba, and Uruguay took up the medium in the 1980s and
the 1990s and 2000s saw video art movements emerging in Ecuador,
Guatemala, and Costa Rica.
“In the latter part of the 20th century, early portable video equipment, in particular the Portapak, represented a decentralized media outlet for voicing opposition. At this time, video artists positioned the body as the site of expression in traumatic political contexts,” said co- curator Elena Shtromberg. “Contemporary video artists in Latin America are continuing to pursue social themes, exploring ideas about gender, ethnic, and racial identity as well as the consequences of social inequality, ecological disasters and global violence.”
At LAXART, in Hollywood, visitors will encounter several immersive video art installations in the center of the exhibition space as well as three galleries featuring single channel videos arranged in six thematic programs which include: The Organic Line; Defiant Bodies; States of Crisis; Economies of Labor; Borders and Migrations; Memory and Forgetting. An important feature of the exhibition is a specially curated library adjacent to the gallery spaces. This publicly accessible library will function as a Video in Latin American Art study room featuring dozens of books on the subject, including many books that are out-of-print or otherwise hard to find in the U.S.
Opening September 15, 2017, Pacific Standard Time: LA/LA is a far-reaching and ambitious exploration of Latin American and Latino art in dialogue with Los Angeles. Led by the Getty, Pacific Standard Time: LA/LA is the latest collaborative effort from arts institution across Southern California, featuring more than 70 exhibitions exploring wide-ranging aspects of Latin American and Latino arts and culture.
