In Collective Situations scholars, artists, and art collectives
present a range of socially engaged art practices that emerged in
Latin America during the Pink Tide period, between 1995 and 2010.
This volume's essays, interviews, and artist's statements-many of
which are appearing in English for the first time-demonstrate the
complex relationship between moments of political transformation
and artistic production. Whether addressing human rights in
Colombia, the politics of urban spaces in Brazil, the violent
legacy of military dictatorships in the region, or art's
intersection with public policy, health, and the environment, the
contributors outline the region's long-standing tradition of
challenging ideas about art and the social sphere through
experimentation. Introducing English-language readers to some of
the most dynamic and innovative contemporary art in Latin America,
Collective Situations documents new possibilities for artistic
practice, collaboration, and creativity in ways that have the
capacity to foster vibrant forms of democratic citizenship.
Contributors Gavin Adams, Mariola V. Alvarez, Gustavo Buntinx,
Maria Fernanda Cartagena, David Gutierrez Castaneda, Fabian
Cereijido, Paloma Checa-Gismero, Kency Cornejo, Raquel de Anda,
Bill Kelley Jr., Grant H. Kester, Suzanne Lacy, Ana Longoni,
Rodrigo Marti, Elize Mazadiego, Annie Mendoza, Alberto Muenala,

Talking to Action: Art, Pedagogy, and Activism in the Americas is
the first publication to bring together scholarship, critical
essays, and documentation of collaborative community-based art
making by researchers from across the American hemisphere. The
comprehensive volume is a compendium of texts, analysis, and
research documents from the Talking to Action research and
exhibition platform, part of the Getty's Pacific Standard Time:
LA/LA initiative, a far-reaching and ambitious exploration of Latin
American and Latino art in dialogue with Los Angeles. While the
field of social practice has had an increasingly high profile
within contemporary art discourse, this book documents artists who
have been under-recognized because they do not show in traditional
gallery or museum contexts and are often studied by specialists in
other disciplines, particularly within the Latin American context.
Talking to Action: Art, Pedagogy, and Activism in the Americas
addresses the absence of a publication documenting scholarly
exchange between research sites throughout the hemisphere and is
intended for those interested in community-based practices
operating within the intersection of art, activism, and the social
sciences.
