The publication says that the Americas Society exhibit "makes an utterly compelling case for the telenovela as a stealth medium for social critique."
This book looks at how telenovelas, as popular entertainment and global commodities, have conveyed Latin American social, political and economic values.
La muestra realza "la identidad cultural plural", dijo a la agencia Aimé Iglesias Lukin, directora y curadora en jefe de Art at Americas Society.
"The telenovela is rarely explored as an art form in its own right, and this exhibition amends that oversight," says the publication about AS' new show.
The late Mexican artist's work "rejected state-sponsored Muralism for personal expression," said the art publication.
The show explores "how contemporary Latin American artists have engaged with the visual and conceptual richness of telenovela," says the publication.
Watch the curator of the Americas Society exhibition offer insight into Lilia Carrillo’s artistic practice and works for view in New York.
