The Function of the Studio, 1971

Daniel Buren

“…the museum and gallery on the one hand and the studio on the other are linked to form the foundation and edifice of the same system. To question one while leaving the other intact accomplishes nothing.”

Blue Print Circuits: Conceptual Art and Politics in Latin America, 1993

Mari Carmen Ramirez

“It was not until the early 1990s that one of the first programmatic essays of Latin American Conceptualism was published, and its ideological reverberations have accompanied many of the considerations on the subject since. Art historian Mari Carmen Ramírez wrote the essay 'Blueprint Circuits: Conceptual Art and Politics in Latin America' (1993) for the catalogue of the exhibition 'Latin American Artists of the Twentieth Century', curated by Waldo Rasmussen and organised by the Museum of Modern Art in New York, in 1992. The exhibition, which was first opened to the public in Seville and produced in the context of the celebrations commemorating the fifth centenary of the 'discovery of America' - a controversial exhibition on account of its perceived condescending and stereotyping discourse - was one of the culminating stages of the boom of Latin American art that began in the mid-1980s and fostered a depoliticised representation of Latin American culture and history, which was strongly associated with private promotional and funding interests both in the US and Latin America.”
