This publication present the stories of Latin American artists who migrated to New York City in the mid-sixties.
"Latin American artists fomented New York’s cultural boom through at times fleeting yet supple collaborative networks," writes Ela Bittencourt in ArtReview.
The second day of the Americas Society Visual Arts conference started with a discussion on contemporary resonances of the 1970s, covering the work of Latinx artists who called New York home.
An international group of scholars, artists, and curators started our conference discussing their research on artists from Americas Society's current exhibition.
This Must Be the Place's "greatest strength is its insistence that the U.S. did not passively allow representation; artists had to fight for it," writes Billy Anania in Hyperallergic.
"El resultado de la investigación es un valioso aporte y una invitación…a seguir desocultando la labor de los latinoamericanos en esos años luminosos", escribe Humberto Valdivieso en El Nacional.
This Must Be the Place "will bring to light a generation of artists which had a fair share in shaping New York into the global art center," writes Balasz Takac in Widewalls.
