'The Space of Appearance': Performativity and Aesthetics in the Politicization of Mexico's Public Sphere Robin Greeley 196 Notes on Contributors Index ImagesReviewsNelly Richard once commented on the difficulty of reading the politics of Latin American contemporary art abroad without reducing the works to a testimonial function or, alternatively, stripping them of their incisive concreteness. This wonderful collection speaks to the emergence of a critical discourse on Latin American art that manages to hold form and politics not just in the balance but to read one through the other: a truly ground-breaking achievement. - Dr. Jens Andermann, Professor of Latin American Studies, University of Zurich; Sabotage Art: Politics and Iconoclasm in Contemporary Latin America provides a welcome shift of emphasis in amidst perennial redefinitions of political art in Latin America. Framing sabotage as a positional choice with regard to the institution allows Halart, Polgovsky Ezcurra and their collaborators to critically interrogate the longstanding association of Latin American art with struggle or adversity for both historical case studies and the market delirium over contemporary art. This book makes for an excellent teaching resource on overlooked artists such as Paulo Bruscky, Enrique Guzma n, Marcos Kurtycz, and Edgardo Antonio Vigo, offers fresh examinations of canonized avant-gardes in Argentina and Chile, and considers recent participatory projects in Bogota and Mexico City. Yet it is most valuable in the sum total of its discrete chapters, which together demonstrate a range of new methods for a field now hitting its stride. - Daniel Quiles, Assistant Professor, Department of Art History, Theory and Criticism, The School of the Art Institute of Chicago Author InformationSophie Halart is a Visiting Teaching Fellow at the Universidad Catolica de Chile, Santiago de Chile and a Teaching Fellow at University College London, where she received her PhD on contemporary women artists in the Southern Cone.
