Heterotopic Latin America: defining contemporary art and some curatorial experiences

Abstract

This article is to goes through different curatorial experiences in, from, and about Latin America, to define contemporary art, from some voices of the artists themselves, curators, researchers, and critics. Interweaving such discourses, the debate focuses on time and space as determining variables; the time to which art is subscribed in a non-linear way, and in association with the coincidence of its spaces of representation. The concept of Heterotopia is proposed by Michael Foucault and, it is mentioned to address and describe contemporary art from the logic of the contemporary global world and discrepancy as a principle of cultural coexistence.
