Project

"Latin America," this exhibition is the first production of the Latin America Department of IESA’s Applied Research Center in Contemporary Cultures. On the evening of the opening reception, many figures connected to this continent gathered around the Ambassador of Chile to France, His Excellency Patricio Hales Dib, including Anne Husson, cultural director of the Maison de l’Amérique latine, a partner of IESA.

As part of a one-month workshop around the young exhibition curator Carolina Arriza, first-year students in the Master in Marketing and Distribution of Contemporary Artworks put together a wonderful exhibition on IESA’s premises.

After meeting the seven young Latin American artists living in Paris, Daniela Aparicio (1993, Mexico City), Alexandra Eguiluz (1988, Lima), Florencia Grisanti (1983, Santiago, Chile), Clarissa Baumann (1988, Rio de Janeiro), Ana María Lozano Rivera (1988, Medellín), Esteban Neveu (1994, Mexico City), and Sergio Valenzuela Escobedo (1983, Santiago, Chile), the students designed the exhibition in the school’s space, took part in producing the works, and installed the exhibition with the stage manager of the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts, who came to lend a hand.

They also organized the opening reception, created a range of merchandise, and handled the exhibition’s communications and mediation: online catalog, guided tours, and press relations. An excellent job and an unforgettable way of incorporating all the techniques of exhibition production from A to Z!
