Listen, Here, Now! Argentine Art of the 1960s: Writings of the Avant-Garde

Listen, Here, Now! Argentine Art of the 1960s: Writings of the Avant-Garde, the second volume in the series of documentary anthologies on modern art produced by The International Program, was published in September 2004. It is the first book to explore the intense, internationally significant developments in Argentine art of the 1960s through English translations of the original documents. An anthology of invaluable primary source material on the development of performance art, media art, and political art in Argentina, it includes key essays by the two best-known Argentine critics of the period, Jorge Romero Brest and Oscar Masotta, along with manifestos, letters, lectures, and project notes by several artists. It was edited by Inés Katzenstein and, in part, by Andrea Giunta. Well-known Latin American scholars contribute chapter introductions placing the ideas and arguments of these documents in context. The book also includes a comprehensive biographical and bibliographical appendix.

Listen, Here, Now! Argentine Art of the 1960s: Writings of the Avant-Garde (2004) was subsequently published in Spanish as Escritos de vanguardia: Arte argentino de los años '60 (2007), with the collaboration of Fundación Proa and Fundación Espigas of Buenos Aires.
