Contemporary Architecture, Theory / History / Criticism
Description
The book's first part documents twelve innovative exhibitions created between 2013 and 2016 by sixteen firms from Argentina, Brazil/Uruguay, Chile, Mexico, Peru, Venezuela, and from Portugal at LIGA’s exhibition space in Mexico in images and brief texts. The second part recounts twelve “Interludes”—public events such as lectures, installations, performances, or studio visits—that for an essential part of LIGA’s program, shedding light at practice and aesthetics in contemporary Latin American architecture. The third part comprises short essays by curators from a range of institutions. They offer individual perspectives of exhibiting architecture, which has become a self-contained disciplinary topic in recent years, as they look at key aspects and topics against a backdrop of manifold difficulties and challenges the region poses for the production and communication of architecture.
