In Counter-time: New figures, new strategies - moderated by Octavio Zaya, independent curator.
Over the last ten years, a new generation of professional curators who have graduated from academic programs in New York, San Francisco and London are bringing new approaches to the institutional field in Latin America. Mariángela Méndez, Independent curator and Professor at Universidad de los Andes, Bogotá; and Sharon Lerner, curator of Contemporary Art of Museo de Arte, Lima, will discuss their curatorial experiences at the Museo de Arte de Lima and the Salón (Inter)Nacional de Artistas de Medellín, Colombia.
6:00 pm.
'Cracking the Code: Artist's books and other fictional histories' - Moderated by Gabriela Rangel, Director of Visual Arts and Curator at the Americas Society, New York.
Artist's books circulate in small or limited editions and are an alternative form for producing an artwork or an archive, as well as for publishing non-definable narratives materialized in a book. A typically self-produced experimental incarnation of an otherwise impossible project, it allows the author-artist to avoid pre-existent conventions and genres of art and art history. María Berrios, Vaticanochico, Santiago de Chile-London, Manuela Ribadeneira, The Drawing Room Confessions, London, and Ramiro Chaves, Artist, Mexico City-Córdoba, will bring their perspectives to the production of artist's books as a mutating open form not necessarily out of the market, but rather collectible.

Taiyana Pimentel, Director, Sala de Arte Público Siqueiros and La Tallera, Mexico City and Cuernavaca, José Roca, Director, Flora arts+natura, Bogota, and Ana Rodríguez, Director, Centro de Arte Contemporáneo – CAC, Quito, will discuss their strategies to create a local audience as well as an international response to those spaces.
