Latin American Artists at the MUSAC Collection

Modelos para Armar. Pensar Latinoamérica desde la Colección MUSAC (Models to Assemble. Latin American Thought from the MUSAC Collection) is the title of the exhibition that will be open from June 26, 2010, to January 9, 2011, at the MUSAC (Museum of Contemporary Art of Castilla and León). The exhibition will present, for the first time, the majority of the works by over 40 Latin American artists that belong to the MUSAC collection. The exhibit invites viewers to decide on their own the way to approach this walk through contemporary Latin American Art. Concurrently, from June 2010 to January 2011, the entire Museum program will be based on Latin America through new projects in the Laboratorio 987, display windows, artists workshops, publications, congresses, performances, and concerts, among other activities. The exhibition is curated by Agustín Pérez-Rubio, MUSAC Director, María Inés Rodríguez, Conservator-in-Chief, and Octavio Zaya, External Curator. Modelos para Armar represents the fourth large exhibition of the MUSAC Collection at the Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Castilla y León, after Emergencias (Emergencies, April-August, 2005), Fusion (December 2005-April 2006), and Existencias (September 2007-January 2008). The exhibition will show for the first time a good part of the acquisitions by the Museum for the MUSAC Collection from 2007 up to the present. All these works are included in the publication entitled Colección MUSAC, Volumen III that will be presented on June 26.
