In recent decades, a significant number of scholarly projects have been devoted to the study and exhibition of concrete and kinetic art from South America. Likewise an array of books, academic theses, and exhibitions, produced both within the region and abroad, have enabled a growing understanding and heightened visibility of one of the richest artistic periods in the region.
The works included in the exhibition Sur moderno: Journeys of Abstraction—The Patricia Phelps de Cisneros Gift, and the sustained scholarship that has been produced around them, have been at the center of this expanding field. Organized as part of MoMA’s celebration of a major gift from Colección Patricia Phelps de Cisneros, the symposium seeks to build on questions around the perception of South American art, focusing on the intellectual frameworks that characterize our ever-changing present.
