ArtNexus
ArtNexus is the leading magazine to cover the contemporary art of Latin America.[2] From its documentation center in Bogota, the magazine covers visual art and architecture.[3] By publishing in both Spanish and English, the magazine fulfilled its goal to be "The Nexus Between Latin America and the Rest of the World."[4] Structure and missionThe current editor and publisher is Celia S de Birbragher.[5] The quarterly magazine is funded by two non-profit organizations, Fundación ArtNexus in Colombia and ArtNexus Foundation in the United States.[6] The magazine and foundation's United States location is in North Miami, Florida. The foundations sponsor scholarship, research archives, and public symposia. In 2011, Funación ArtNexus earned a $127,500 grant from the Getty Foundation to host Intellectual Networks: Art and Politics in Latin America, in which scholars researched artistic and scholarly networks throughout Latin America during the mid-twentieth century.[7] This resulted in a major exhibition of historical documents at the Museo de Arquitectura Leopoldo Rother at the National University of Colombia.[8] ArtNexus hosts events at major Latin American art fairs, including the International Art Fair of Bogota[9] and Art Basel Miami.[10] ArtNexus also hosts awards for outstanding living Latin American artists.[11] It also hosts art exhibitions at Espacio Art Nexus in the Las Nieves neighborhood of Bogota.[12] BackgroundThe magazine was founded in 1976 in Bogota, Colombia.[13] Initially it was named Arte en Colombia and focused on Colombian art; however, in 1991, it changed its name to ArtNexus and expanded its scope to include the entire contemporary Latin American art scene.[4][14] References
