Originally shown at LAXART (Los Angeles) in collaboration with the
Getty Research Institute (GRI), Video Art in Latin America surveys
groundbreaking achievements and important thematic tendencies in
Latin American video art from the 1960s until today. The emergence
of video art in Latin America is marked by staggered and multiple
points of development across more than a dozen artistic centers over
a period of more than 25 years. The earliest experiments with video
in Latin America began in Argentina and Brazil in the 60s and 70s,
respectively. In the late 1970s artists in Colombia, Mexico, and
Puerto Rico began to use video. Artists in Chile, Cuba, and Uruguay
took up the medium in the 1980s and the 1990s and 2000s saw
video art movements emerging in Ecuador, Guatemala, and Costa
Rica.
“In the latter part of the 20th century, early portable video
equipment, in particular the Portapak, represented a decentralized
media outlet for voicing opposition. At this time, video artists
positioned the body as the site of expression in traumatic political
contexts,†said co- curator Elena Shtromberg. “Contemporary video
artists in Latin America are continuing to pursue social themes,
exploring ideas about gender, ethnic, and racial identity as well as
the consequences of social inequality, ecological disasters and global
violence.â€
BIO:
Elena Shtromberg is Associate Professor in the Department of Art
and Art History at the University of Utah. She specializes in modern
and contemporary Latin American visual culture, with a specific focus
on Brazil and the U.S.-Mexico border region. Her book, “Art Systems:
Brazil and the 1970s†(University of Texas Press, 2016) explores
visual forms of critique and subversion during the height of Brazilian
dictatorship by tracing how the encounter of artistic practice with
information and systems theories redefined the role of art in society.
Her interdisciplinary research interests extend to gender and media
studies, cultural studies, as well as communications, geography and
postcolonial theory. She has been the recipient of grants from the
Woodrow Wilson Foundation, the American Council of Learned
Societies, the Social Science Research Council and DAAD, among
others. During her research leave in 2011-12 she was a guest
scholar at the Getty Research Institute in Los Angeles. She has also
curated a number of exhibitions, the latest among them a co-curated
survey entitled “Video Art in Latin America†which opened in
September 2017 at LAXART, an alternative art space in Los Angeles,
part of the Getty Foundation’s initiative PST: LA/LA. She is now
working on a co-edited volume, “Encounters in Video Art of Latin
America†(Getty Publications, 2020) and a scholarly monograph on
the role of historical memory in video art titled “Fugitive Memoriesâ€.
