In conjunction with the exhibition Antonio Manuel: I Want to Act, Not Represent! Americas Society will partner with the Department of Art and Archaeology at Columbia University for a symposium.
This day-long event will explore the development of artistic practices as a result of political oppression in Latin America and internationally during the 1960s and 1970s. Throughout this era, artists dealt with politically complex issues in their artistic production through a variety of styles and media. These aesthetic explorations include the 'New Objectivity,'' geometric abstraction, socially-engaged art, media-related and investigative projects, and, finally, conceptual, body, and performance art.
Speakers: Michael Asbury (Chelsea College of Art and Design, University of the Arts London), Sergio Bessa (Bronx Museum), Claudia Calirman (John Jay College), Nicolás Guagnini (Barnard College), Gabriela Rangel (Americas Society), Judith Rodenbeck (Sarah Lawrence College), Irene Small (University of Illinois)
Moderator: Alexander Alberro (Columbia University/Barnard College)
