Continental shift: Latin American art

The biggest exploration of the region's art ever held in America opened this week. More than 1,100 artists from 45 Latin American countries are taking part in abstract and conceptual-art exhibitions, films, concerts and performances across 70 cultural institutions throughout Southern California. Backed by the Getty Foundation, "Pacific Standard Time LA/LA" will range from the pre-Hispanic to the modern day, focusing particularly on the issues of borders, diaspora and displacement; on definitions of identity; on art and activism; and on cultural criticisms of globalisation. "PST LA/LA" will cost the Getty and its partner institutions an estimated $35m. Its effects are likely to be far-reaching, as a growing number of the shows are getting signed up by other institutions on both sides of the American border, and participating artists are being taken up by commercial galleries who have been impressed by the turnout.

美洲大陆之变：拉美艺术

本周，有史以来在美洲举行的最大规模的当地艺术研究开始了。来自45个拉美国家，共计1,100多名艺术家参与南加州全境70所文化机构所举办的抽象和概念艺术展、电影、音乐会及其他演出。由盖蒂基金会 (Getty Foundation) 赞助的“太平洋标准时间：艺术在洛杉矶/拉美”项目（"Pacific Standard Time LA/LA"）将横跨前西班牙语国家和当代两个时期，尤其关注以下问题：边界、人口大移居和迁徙、身份的界定、艺术和行动主义，以及对全球化的文化批判。“太平洋标准时间：艺术在洛杉矶/拉美”项目（"PST LA/LA"）预计将花费盖蒂基金会及其合作机构3,500万元。随着美洲两岸的其他机构签下越来越多的展览，而不少为众多与会者所动的商业艺术馆也在日益取代艺术家参展，以上此举或许影响深远。
