A Tale of Two Worlds
Experimental Latin American Art 1940–1980
Art and culture in dialogue: In a large exhibition in cooperation with the Museo de Arte Moderno de Buenos Aires, the MMK Frankfurt am Main is dedicating itself to the interwoven perspectives of two continents and cultures. The exhibition examines commonalities, differences, and intellectual links between artists from different parts of the world as well as the challenges that cultural exchange brings along with it through juxtaposing above all the European-North American canon and Latin America experimental art. The accompanying publication presents new and surprising relationships between cultures in fascinating essays by renowned authors.
