"An artist, museum educator, and man about town (specifi cally, New
York City), Helguera is an amateur anthropologist of the art world.
( . . . ) Helguera's] cartoons really do capture the foibles,
ironies, and occasional stupidity of the art world with a clarity
and economy that only a simple pen drawing and a short piece of
text can achieve. They fi ll an important gap. Cartooning is rarely
done in the art world ( . . . ) Maybe the problem isn't the humor,
but the truth. It may take years of sleuthing for Helguera, the
anthropologist, to fi gure out why this is so. In the meantime,
Pablo's Artoons can do the talking for us." -From the foreword by
Andrs Sznt ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Praise for The
Pablo Helguera Manual of Contemporary Art Style: "Who but a genius
would come up with a Manual of Contemporary Art Style?" -The
Guardian ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ "You will sob, even howl,
with laughter." -Flash Art ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ "The
balancing act between fl ippancy and gravity is neither easy to
achieve nor to sustain, yet Helguera manages it with ease." -Art
Review +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Pablo Helguera is a
visual artist. Some of his past art projects have included making a
phonographic archive of dying languages, creating scripted symposia
performed by actors (unbeknownst to the audience), building a
memory theater, and founding a research institute exploring the
global impact of Latin American soap operas. He is the author of �
ve books, including The Pablo Helguera Manual of Contemporary Art
Style (2007) and the novel The Boy Inside the Letter (2008),
published by Jorge Pinto Books. In 2006 he drove from Anchorage to
Tierradel Fuego with a collapsible schoolhouse, organizing
discussions and civic ceremonies (The School of Panamerican
Unrest). In 2008 he received a Guggenheim Fellowship.
