In the summer of 2006, artist Pablo Helguera drove from Alaska to
Chile as part of an art project entitled The School of Panamerican
Unrest. The four-month journey included a wide variety of
activities ranging from pedagogical experiments to activist
gestures, resulting in collectively written declarations, a video
documentary, and multiple other works. Out of its various outcomes,
Suite Panamericana remains the most personal account of the
artist's journey. This collection of collages made out of images
and texts of education manuals and history books oscillates between
an image poem and a cryptic travelogue. Helguera regards the suite
as "operating with the internal logic similar to a dream sequence
with fragmentary, if recurring, questions, affirmations, and
obsessions." Pablo Helguera (Mexico City, 1971) is a visual artist
living in New York. He is the author of several books including The
Pablo Helguera Manual of Contemporary Art Style, The Boy Inside the
Letter, The Juvenal Players, Theatrum Anatomicum (and other
Performance Lectures) What in the World, and Uryonstelaii.
