Laboratories for Design, Craft and Art in Latin America
Introduction by Lowery Stokes Sims. Text by Mari Carmen Ramírez, Gabriela Rangel, Jorge Rivas Pérez, Regine Basha, Fabiana Lopes and Nessia Leonzini Pope, Antonio Sánchez Gómez, Ana Elena Mallet, Magdalena Grüneisen, Adélia Borges, Adriana Kertzer, Marcella Echavarría
New Territories examines creative practices in today's globalized world, in which disciplines overlap more than ever before. Looking in particular at countries such as Brazil, Cuba, Panama, Columbia, Mexico, El Salvador, Puerto Rico, Venezuela and Chile, this volume discusses the ways in which craft, art and design have transcended their former identities. Today, artists in these fields may address issues of not only commodification and mass production, but also social concerns of urbanization, displacement, housing and sustainability. Including the work of more than 100 artists, designers/design studios and artisans, New Territories sets out to explore the present state of design--much of which has emerged from interfaces between manufacturers, folk artisans, indigenous artists and designers--and its future.
