Art exhibitions, buildings, institutions and artistic development actions make up the unique ecosystems portrayed in the book "
Where Art Lives in Latin America ", launched on January 26 by the art consultancy and publishing house Act. The work was organized by João Paulo Siqueira Lopes and Fernando Ticoulat and explores
much more than a simple documentation of 35 important artistic spaces in the region . The publication is the result of extensive and relevant research that brings together, in addition to unpublished images, critical texts and interviews with curators and directors of institutions, delving deeper into connections, similarities and differences in the Latin American artistic scene.
There is no doubt that Brazil is a hub of tradition and art. It is no wonder that the
Pinacoteca de São Paulo is receiving funding to become one of the largest museums in Latin America. In addition to this, other important Brazilian monuments were selected to make up the collection. work, such as
Aarea, MAM Rio, LABVERDE and Pivô . The book also features some reflections from big names in charge of renowned museums. For the general director of the Pinacoteca, Jochen Volz, in an exclusive interview for the book, "a museum needs
to constantly reinvent itself and unlearn to allow the emergence of other forms of practices. He needs to assume the role of listener, embrace differences and antinomies, without establishing new categories, territories or rules." The goal of Where Art Lives in Latin America is to be a reference for the development of the state of the art not only locally, but worldwide. For this reason, the trilingual publication will also be launched and marketed in other countries in Latin America and Europe - in partnership with the traditional Turner Libros.
