Peripatetic School

An exciting and original approach to the art of Latin America, this exhibition catalog looks at the work of nine artists who have adopted forms of travel or nomadism to explore contemporary life. Selected by curator Tanya Barson, the artists include Brigida Baltar, Tony Cruz, Raimond Chaves and Gilda Mantilla, Andr Komatsu, Mateo Lopez, Jorge Macchi, Nicolas Paris and Ishmael Randall Weeks, whose shared interests lead them to engage with urban and rural landscapes through the medium of drawing. In their own way, each artist borrows from the models and conventions of geographical, botanical, topographical, political, philosophical or Surrealist investigation, allowing their work to destabilize assumptions about the continent. Texts by Tanya Barson, Isobel Whitelegg, Pablo Leon de la Barra and Moacir dos Anjos.
