In Dematerialization and the Social Materiality of Art Elize Mazadiego interprets experimental art practices that negated the object’s primacy, developing new materialities rooted in Argentina’s changing social life and transformative experiences of modernization in the 1950s and 1960s.
Award winner: Best Book in Latin American Visual Culture Studies from the Latin American Studies Association
Dematerialization and the Social Materiality of Art reconceptualizes mid-twentieth-century avant-garde practices in Argentina with a focus on the changing material status of the art object in relation to the country’s intense period of modernization. Elize Mazadiego presents Oscar Masotta’s notion of dematerialization as a concept for interpreting experimental art practices that negated the object’s primacy, while identifying their promise within the sociopolitical transformations of the 1950s and 1960s. She argues that, in abandoning the traditional art object, the avant-garde developed new materialities rooted in Buenos Aires’ changing social life. A critical examination of art’s materiality and its social role within Argentina, this important study paves the way for broader investigations of postwar Latin American art.
