Luis Camnitzer "Conceptualism in Latin America: Didactics of Liberation", 14 Years Later

In this interview, Luis Camnitzer does a review of "Conceptualism in Latin America: Didactics of Liberation", 14 years after its publication in 2007. For him, Latin American conceptualism is a strategy for both agitation and construction, in which art, politics, pedagogy and poetry overlap. In the video, he will speak about the initial thoughts and aims of the book, the influence of Simón Rodríguez and the exhibition "Global Conceptualism: Points of Origins, 1950s-1980s" in his theoretical approach, and the need to connect art with pedagogy, a topic he has been following throughout his artistic career. 

This lecture-interview is part of the programme of the online symposium “Rethinking Conceptualism: Avant-Garde, Activism and Politics in Latin American Art (1960s-1980s)” 

Panel discussion: Theories on Latin American Art: Juan Acha, Marta Traba, Luis Camnitzer
Q & A session with Joaquín Barriendos, María Mercedes Herrera Buitrago and Luis Camnitzer via Zoom: 10 March 2021, 18.00 h (GMT +1)
