Gathering artists whose work appeared in the influential magazine published by Mexico’s Museo de Arte Moderno and directed by Carla Stellweg from 1973 to 1981, the exhibition calls attention to an international community of experimental makers. Featuring artworks by Luis Camnitzer (Uruguay and the United States), Antonio Caro (Colombia), Manuel Felguérez (Mexico), Paulina Lavista (Mexico), Vicente Rojo (Spain and Mexico), Regina Vater (Brazil), Anna Bella Geiger (Brazil), Jorge Caraballo (Uruguay), Alfredo Portillos (Argentina), Marta Palau (Spain and Mexico), Victor Grippo (Argentina) and others, this rigorously researched exhibition and accompanying catalog demonstrate how this groundbreaking periodical expanded the bounds of art and cultivated a community for innovative creative practice. Curated by Harper Montgomery, Director of the Hunter College Art Galleries, with MA and MFA students enrolled in the Advanced Curatorial Certificate Seminar and curatorial student fellows: Reuben Gordon, Lisa Mason, and Grace Sanabria. This exhibition is organized in collaboration with the Institute for Studies on Latin American Art (ISLAA).

The catalog features an interview with Carla Stellweg, essays on painting, page art, photography, and performance, as well as a chronology and bibliography related to the activities and publications of Stellweg and the circle of artists and critics she gathered on the pages of Artes Visuales.

This exhibition is made possible by The Leonard A. Lauder Exhibition and Catalogue Fund and the Institute for Studies on Latin American Art (ISLAA). The exhibition's catalog has been supported by a grant from the Wolf Kahn Foundation and the Emily Mason and Alice Trumbull Mason Foundation on behalf of artists Emily Mason and Wolf Kahn.
