In these...

"El Premio de Ensayo Crítico invitaba a pensar problemas que recorrieran el arte argentino durante los últimos años, también sobre un corpus de obras o exhibiciones realizadas por artistas argentinos en los últimos quince años, estas eran unas proposiciones abiertas que no podría haber emprendido sin meditar antes sobre otras variables que exceden al arte e implican algo más grande. Algo que indecorosamente podría ser llamado mundo. Quería...

¿Qué puede encontrar aquí un lector interesado en el arte actual de Chile? No son estos los escritos de un artista (según T.S. Eliot, los poetas no aprecian a otros poetas, si lo hicieran tendrían el mismo proyecto). No son tampoco los de un galerista, que busca sobre todo entusiasmar a un posible comprador con ánimo de armar una colección. No son tampoco como los de los curadores, que muchas veces arman una

Yet we are not taught these basic traits, nor to even name the reality, for the power of empire is such that it suppresses this awareness. Along with the ten traits of empire, this work wrestles with questions...

Edvard Munch's career is effectively divided into two periods: those before and after his mental breakdown in 1908. Prior to his psychiatric treatment and recuperation, the underlying themes of his work bounced between dark sorrow and an overt, aggressive sexuality. But after his breakdown, when he had returned to his homeland of Norway after two decades in France and Germany, his work took a decidedly positive turn in theme and subject. Munch's body...
