Plural

The exhibition, entitled "Plural," is named for a distinguished Mexican magazine devoted to art, literature and criticism in whose pages have been discussed the major 12 contemporary Latin American painters and sculptors whose works are featured in this presentation.

As the title implies, the exhibit emphasizes the diversity of contemporary Latin American visual arts, with several works representing each painter or sculptor. The artists were selected by Kazuya Sakai, who is himself a painter as well as the Editor-in-Chief of "Plural," and Dr. Damian Bayon, visiting professor of art history at UT.

Artists represented in the exhibit are: Marcelo Bonevardi and Luis Tomasello of Argentina; Sergio de Camargo of Brazil; Brian Nissen, Vicente Rojo, Francisco Toledo, and Roger von Gunten of Mexico; and Edgar Negret of Colombia.

The exhibition forms a major focus for an international symposium on contemporary art and literature of Latin America held at the University of Texas at Austin.
