Curated by Mari Carmen Ramirez and Hector Olea who organized this first large-scale overview of the avant-garde in Latin America during the twentieth century. Many Latin American works predated artistic works from Europe and the United States and challenged traditional notions of art and science. the catalogue and exhibition are organized into six conceptual areas or "constellations": Universal and Vernacular: Play and Grief; Progression and Rupture; Vibrational and Stationary; Touch and Gaze; Cryptic and Committed. Leon Ferrari contributed an illustrated essay "The Written Word." Hector Olea's illustrated essay on Leon Ferrari is titled "From the Drawing to Texts to the Texture of Poetry." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
