"Helguera knows the lecture form inside out, in all its frailties
and anachronisms, and he cares for it. But expect the
Professor-Doctor of its terminal condition to be doing stand-up at
the funeral." Dominic Willsdon, The Leanne and George Roberts
Curator of Education and Public Programs, San Francisco Museum of
Modern Art "While Helguera writes in a manner that suggests parody,
he is simultaneously deadly serious and entirely accurate... he]
routinely appropriates academic language or strategies to create
his artworks, which can appear as books, recordings, symposia or
even a nomadic museum. With these he astutely observes the politics
of culture and its effects on society, what it means to us and how
we are taught to appreciate it." Amanda Coulson, Art Review "Pablo
Helguera is ...] a splendid liar, a first-class storyteller, a
curious mind constantly in search of stories, a creator of parallel
universes and impossible characters living in credible situations,
which invariably probe our certainties, intuition and knowledge."
Naief Yehya, writer and critic Theatrum Anatomicum (and Other
Performance Lectures) brings together a number of performance
scripts that blend the dramatic elements of theater with the
gravity of the academic presentation, and bring into dialogue
topics as disparate as the Latin American soap opera, the origins
of the Kindergarten, the history of the Shakers, the US/Mexico war
and the social dynamics of the art world. In these series of
experimental works, the voices of real and fictional characters
come together in a critical exploration of history, politics, and
art. Pablo Helguera is a visual artist living in New York whose
works and performances have been presented in museums and art
spaces internationally. He is the author of the books The Pablo
Helguera Manual of Contemporary Art Style, The Boy Inside the
Letter, The Witches of Tepoztlan (and Other Unpublished Operas),
and Artoons. These books are published by Jorge Pinto Books Inc.
