Exploring contemporary life in Latin America through adopting forms of travel or nomadism, the works of the artists featured in this volume take the medium of drawing to new heights.
This volume features nine artists from across Latin America - Brigida Baltar, Jose Tony Cruz, Andre Komatsu, Mateo Lopez, Jorge Macchi, Gilda Mantilla and Raimond Chaves, Nicolas Paris, Ishmael Randall Weeks - who journey out of the studio, into the neighbourhood, the city, the territory or continent beyond. For these artists, drawing travels off the page and into the environment itself. The individual bodies of work destabilise assumptions about the continent. They present instead individual testaments to the extraordinary heterogeneity of its people, culture, languages, cities and landscape. Not only do the artists explore the world at large, but they simultaneously examine the parameters of drawing, often using unconventional materials or strategies. These artists seek to blur the traditional boundaries between mediums: work on paper becomes sculptural object and simple line drawing becomes video animation.We publiceren alleen reviews die voldoen aan de voorwaarden voor reviews.
