ReVisión

ReVisión: A New Look at Art in the Americas considers what makes the Americas the Americas. With essays by leading scholars of Latin American art history, the lavishly illustrated publication explores the ways in which the past continues to exert an influence on communities throughout the region. Artists such as Alexander Apóstol, Juan Enrique Bedoya, Johanna Calle, Chiachio & Giannone, Ronny Quevedo, Sandy Rodríguez, Eduardo Sarabia, Clarissa Tossin and Cecilia Vicuña draw on centuries of imagery from both before and after the Conquest to grapple with questions of identity, exploitation of natural resources and displacement. The essays in this book provide a framework for understanding the regions nuanced history of creation, destruction and renewal. They are written by Beverly Adams, newly appointed curator of Latin American art at MoMA; Julieta González, independent curator, Mexico City; and Elena Shtromberg, leading scholar of Latin American video art.Artists:David Alfaro Siqueiros, Claudia Andujar, Alexander Apóstol, Juan Enrique Bedoya, Johanna Calle, Leo & Daniel Giannone Chiachio, Gloria Cortina, Miguel Covarrubias, Carlos Cruz-Diez, Juan Downey, Juan Manuel Echavarría, Daniela Edburg, Jorge Eielson, Darío Escobar, Rafael Fajardo, | S.W.E.A.T Collective (collaborated on one piece), Harun Farocki, Carla Fernández | Pedro Reyes | Endy López (collaborated on one piece) Mathias Goeritz, gt2P (great things to People), Sheroanawe Hakihiiwe, Elena Izcue, Wifredo Lam, Ana Mendieta, Sandra Monterroso, Motta & Lima Damián Ortega, Jorge Pineda, Ronny Quevedo, Sandy Rodriguez, Daniela Rossell, Juan Javier Salazar, Eduardo Sarabia, Joaquín Torres García, Clarissa Tossin, Cecilia Vicuña
