Still, ISLAA’s exhibition programme, which will encompass up to eight shows a year, is designed to offer a more diverse sample of work rarely exhibited in the US, says newly appointed chief curator Bernardo Mosqueira. “There is incredible attention for geometric abstraction, as if this was the most important or the only kind of art that has been produced from this region,” he says. “One of the main missions that we have here at ISLAA is to highlight the diversity [of Latin American art] and also complicate the narratives that are already here” in New York.
