The Davis Museum's groundbreaking curatorial project,
Art__Latin__America: Against the Survey, reconsiders conventional
frameworks for understanding, exhibiting, and discussing Latin
American and Latinx art. This illustrated volume, published with
the exhibition, features 70 essays by leading scholars and
specialists from across the Americas on an exceptional selection of
art works, many never before seen or published. The Davis
collection includes more than 550 works connected to the region
known as "Latin America"-as site of production, place of origin, or
point of reference. The exhibition features 150 highlights, in all
media, by over 100 artists from across the Americas, including the
US. The works are organized into eight compelling themes that
reveal particular strengths of the collection: Identity and
Territory, City and Country, War and Loss, Protest and Resistance,
Workers and Farmers, Models and Mothers, Saints and Rituals, and
Geometry and Gesture. Contrary to familiar museological conventions
of the chronological survey or geographic overview,
Art__Latin__America includes works from radically different times
and places, juxtaposing the familiar and the unknown, the expected
and unexpected, generating new visual conversations and challenging
viewers and readers to rethink preexisting canons and narratives.
In fact, the project proposes an expansive definition of the very
term "Latin American." The result is unlike any other book on the
topic.
