. Cildo Meireles - New Museum of Contemporary Art - Absolutearts. Generally acknowledged as the most influential conceptual artist working in Latin America today, Meireles (b. 1948) creates pieces that require the spectator to abandon the traditionally passive role of the museum visitor and to arrive at a heightened sensory and cognitive perception through direct interaction with the installation. His singular contribution is to synthesize his own experiments in formal space with philosophical, social and political concerns.

Smith Collection spans the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and features important landscapes and Western genre scenes by Albert Bierstadt, Thomas Moran, William Ranney, Charles M.

Return to top Contemporary Latin American Art Ongoing, Harry Ransom Center, 21st and Guadalupe Since its founding, the Blanton has been a leader in the field of Latin American art and has assembled one of the nation's most extensive collections of contemporary art from Central and South America and the Caribbean.

But Mercosur itself is only a regional fraction of Latin America. With the addition of Bolivia, Chile and Venezuela, the selection logic becomes more tenuous and results in a fragmentation of Latin America based on the predisposition of some governments to sign the respective trade documents. Thus this Biennial in fact seems to replace the old identifiable criteria of ethnic group and nationality by the criteria of production and consumption.
