Beyond the Fantastic: Contemporary Art Criticism from Latin America

Beyond the Fantastic: Contemporary Art Criticism from Latin America by Mosquera, Gerardo. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780262631723.

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 : Mó®©£a Amor.
