IESA arts&culture and the Maison de l’Amérique latine present the series L’Œil pense

The conference series continues for its second year. It is still an exploration of Latin American art in the 20th and 21st centuries. A stroll through this rich scene, following current events, highlighting the major moments that made art history and that shape the one now in the making.

It is admittedly illusory to think about or see everything. That is why it is fitting to cheerfully adopt as a motto the lines of Octavio Paz: The eye thinks / thought sees / the gaze touches, because it is by heightening the senses and blurring the lines that we see further… and closer!
Artists, curators, art historians, art critics, gallery owners, and collectors, all bringing diverse perspectives, will join these gatherings throughout the year to exhibit, discuss, analyze, and bear witness.

This conference focuses on Latin American photography. It quickly earned its stripes in the international art world and art market. Why? How?
Beatrice Andrieux, a recognized specialist in the field, will shed light on it through two case studies: the Mexican Teresa Margolles and the Colombian Oscar Muñoz.
