Description: During his activities for the Centro de Arte y Comunicación (CAYC) at the dawn of the 1970's, artist and architect Horacio Zabala (b. Buenos Aires 1943) developed a body of works with unmistakable political connotations that reflected on the singular situation of a Latin America marked by profound social crises, military dictatorships, and civil uprisings. His production during this period follows two principal lines: the Cartographies, and the Prison Architectures. The first is based on school maps that show some of the problems unfolding across Latin American geography; the second stems from architectural plans and sketches that capture the persecutory and oppressive policies of the authoritarian governments invading this region. Zabalaœs interventions seek to call attention to this discrepancy. Through simple actions that alter the official topographies, the artist presents the Latin American region as a place of conflict. "This anthology brings together a selection of works produced between 1972 and 1983, and includes texts by authors who contemplated and interpreted them. The majority have been published in books and catalogs on different occasions." --Page 181.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (pages 218-225).
