SITAC Regarding de chronicle of our instant

This section deals with the role of criticism, the media and the relationship between the history of local art and the broader process of validation and establishment of a given artistic context.

The construction of the history of contemporary art is fed by the chronicle, the artistic review and the essays on exhibitions, among others. However, what are the steps to interpret the immediate criticism and turn it into history? What kind of influence does the international media exercise in the process of building the history of contemporary art?

And what happens when we try to trace the history of a context when there has been no local criticism or media documentation about movements, artists and artistic environments in general? What repercussions do external interpretations or media versions have in a local environment where registration and / or interpretation are scarce or incipient?
