By including key landmarks in the profile of the new Buenos Aires, Vingboons's painting provides a chronological marker for change along the South American coast. Images of trade ships in the port of Buenos Aires are rarely seen, because for nearly two hundred years much of Spain's transatlantic trade was controlled by northern ports. Some black market trade did continue, and local shipping was allowed, but the ports in Peru and Panama captured the majority of the shipping until 1778. Images of Argentina's maritime history came from other sources.

A Budding Artist He was born and raised in Uruguay in South America. When he was eleven, Fonseca spent six months traveling in Europe with his family. The things he experienced and saw on this trip inspired him to become an artist. When his family returned home he set up an art studio in the basement. A Curious Mind Fonseca was a very curious person. He loved learning about history and languages (he spoke at least six!). Fonseca is often called a polymath*, or someone who knows a lot about many different things. He also traveled to continue his education. On his journeys, Fonseca climbed pyramids in Egypt, helped excavate ancient sites in the Middle East and Africa, and visited ancient Greek and Roman ruins. All of these experiences became a part of his artwork. An Inventive Sculptor Fonseca trained to be a painter but switched to sculpture because he wanted to work in three dimensions. The Lake Anne play sculptures are some of the only public art he ever made. They are molded from the same concrete used in the surrounding buildings. Fonseca was excited to have such big spaces to work with, places like the plaza by the lake and the underpass.

    LA POCHA NOSTRA HIDVL ARTIST PROFILES ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE MEXICAN MIRROR (A border artist reflects on the new “post-national Mexicans,” their bittersweet relationship with "homeland,"and their role in the forming of a virtual nation inside the U.S. called “Latinoamerica del Norte.”) By: Guillermo Gómez-Peña I I left Mexico City in 1978 to study art in California, “the land of the future” as my lost generation saw it. Too young to be a hipiteca and too old to be a punketo, I was a 22-year old interstitial rebel, a writer and artist who couldn’t find space to breathe in the suffocating official culture of Mexico. There, the art and literary cartels were structured in an ecclesiastical fashion, accountable to one untouchable capo. He was the archbishop and final arbiter of what was acceptable as “high culture” and “Mexican-ness,” Don Octavio Paz. In those days, identity in Mexico was a static construct, intricately connected to national territory and language. A Mexican was someone who lived in Mexico and who spoke Spanish like a Mexican. Punto. There weren’t many alternative ways of being Mexican. Despite the fact that we came in all shapes, colors, and even races, mestizaje (the mixed race), was the official dictum and master narrative. Whether we liked it or not, we were the bastard children of Hernan Cortez and La Malinche, product of a colonial rape and a cultural cesarean, eternally condemned to come to terms with this historical trauma. The millions of indios, the original proto-Mexicans, were portrayed as living in a parallel (and mythical) time and space outside our history and society.

(detail) THE UNBOUNDED LINE A Selection from the Juan Carlos Maldonado Art Collection 3 Juan Carlos Maldonado Art Collection was founded in 2005 out of a passion for art and a commitment to deepen our understanding of the abstract-geometric style as a significant part of Latin America’s cultural legacy. The fascinating revolutionary visual statements put forth by artists like Jesús Soto, Lygia Clark, Joaquín Torres-García and Tomás Maldonado directed our investigations not only into Latin American regions but throughout Europe and the United States as well, enriching our survey by revealing complex interconnections that assert the geometric genre's wide relevance. It is with great pleasure that we present The Unbounded Line A Selection from the Juan Carlos Maldonado Art Collection celebrating the recent opening of Juan Carlos Maldonado Art Collection’s new home among the thriving community of cultural organizations based in Miami. We look forward to bringing about meaningful dialogues and connections by contributing our own survey of the intricate histories of Latin American art.

Related to the upcoming retrospective exhibition, Joaquin Torres-García: The Arcadian Modern at the Museum of Modern Art, Cecilia de Torres, Ltd. presents an aspect of the artist's endeavors that is inextricably associated with his personality and his career: the creation of a school of art that would realize “Constructive Universalism,” his theory of a unified aesthetic based on the visual canon he developed. Torres-García’s ambition was to establish an autonomous artistic tradition based on Constructive Universalism that would eventually expand to all the Americas. This utopian undertaking occupied the last fifteen years of his life as an artist and teacher to new generations, leaving a considerable body of work and an indelible mark on South America’s modern art. The works in this exhibition date from 1936 to the 1980s. Our intent is to present work by this group of exceptional artists that is emblematic of their individuality, works of mature achievement as well as of their constructivist origins.

    Copyright by Kanitra Shenae Fletcher 2011 The Thesis Committee for Kanitra Shenae Fletcher Certifies that this is the approved version of the following thesis: Damage Control: Black Women's Visual Resistance in Brazil and Beyond APPROVED BY SUPERVISING COMMITTEE: Supervisor: Moyosore Okediji Cherise Smith Damage Control: Black Women's Visual Resistance in Brazil and Beyond by Kanitra Shenae Fletcher, B.A. Thesis Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Austin in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts The University of Texas at Austin May 2011 Dedication To my beloved late aunt Aundra Thornton. Abstract Damage Control: Black Women's Visual Resistance in Brazil and Beyond Kanitra Shenae Fletcher, M.A. The University of Texas at Austin, 2011 Supervisor: Moyosore Okediji Jezebels, Mammies, and Matriarchs… These labels signify racialized and gendered social constructions that transnationally pervade the lives of black women. By contextualizing black women’s artwork as visual responses to social subjugation and objectification, one can discern the (literal) materialization of black feminist epistemology through artistic production and the aesthetic concerns that drive expressive work. This thesis therefore analyzes black Brazilian artist Rosana Paulino’s work as a visual form of resistance to three major “controlling images” of black women in Brazil as sexually promiscuous, domestic laborers, and unfit mothers. Her work represents not only the Brazilian black woman’s experience; it broadens and deepens the conversation on black women’s art in Africa and its diasporas, where similar stereotypes exist. Several v of Paulino’s personal statements and artworks address subjects that parallel those made by black women artists--María Magdalena Campos-Pons, Lorna Simpson, Zanele Muholi, and Wangechi Mutu, to name a few--whose artwork is also considered in this paper.
