Dematerialization examines the intertwined experimental practices
and critical discourses of art and industrial design in Argentina,
Mexico, and Chile in the 1960s and 1970s. Provocative in nature,
this book investigates the way that artists, critics, and designers
considered the relationship between the crisis of the modernist
concept of artistic medium and the radical social transformation
brought about by the accelerated capitalist development of the
preceding decades. Beginning with Oscar Masotta's sui generis
definition of the term, Karen Benezra proposes dematerialization as
a concept that allows us to see how disputes over the materiality
of the art and design object functioned in order to address
questions concerning the role of appearance, myth, and ideology in
the dynamic logic structuring social relations in contemporary
discussions of aesthetics, artistic collectivism, and industrial
design. Dematerialization brings new insights to the fields of
contemporary art history, critical theory, and Latin American
cultural studies.
