LIMA, PERU - November 2 - 4, 2011
Second Installment
Museo de Arte de Lima (MALI)
Paseo Colon 125, Parque de la Exposicion, Lima 1, Peru
____________________________________________________
An international group of scholars, curators, museum directors and artists will discuss new approaches to the study and presentation of Latin American art in the 21st century. This symposium focuses on three key areas: the roles of museums in the collection, contextualization and representation of Latin American art; the production of revisionist art histories through innovative research methodologies; new interpretative frameworks and archive-based scholarship and experimental curatorial models for the interpretation and presentation of historic and contemporary art from Latin America.
This symposium is organized by the Museum of Latin American Art (MOLAA) in Long Beach in collaboration with Museo de Arte de Lima (MALI), with the support of the Getty Foundation. These sessions in Lima constitute the second phase of this project; the first installment, developed in partnership with the Getty Research Institute with the support of the Getty Foundation, was held in March 2011 at The Getty Center in Los Angeles and MOLAA in Long Beach. The second installment will continue the discussion that began in Los Angeles while taking the debate to a new and more conclusive level.
There is no registration fee for the symposium.
