What is Latitudes?



Latitudes is an independent curatorial office initiated in April 2005 by Max Andrews and Mariana Cánepa Luna, that works in an international context from and in Barcelona, Spain. We initiate and develop contemporary art projects in association with institutions and collaborate with artists in productions encompassing a range of organisational forms and scales: genres of display and presentation; editorial practice and publication; forms of assembly, hosting and programming; as well as theoretical and interpretative contexts.

Our starting point is to advocate the work of artists we believe to be critically relevant to our times. Ongoing research includes micro-historical practices; context-specific, narrative- or process-based art; expectations of public participation; the function of the duo; and how art and artifacts relate with obsolescence and cultural worth.

Recent projects include Lawrence Weiner – The Crest of a Wave, Fundació Suñol, Barcelona (2008); Portscapes, a series of ten commissions in the Port of Rotterdam, the Netherlands (2009) and the participation in the two editions of No Soul For Sale: A Festival of Independents (X Initiative, New York, 2009, and Tate Modern, London, 2010). Latitudes was a partner organisation in The Last Newspaper at the New Museum, New York (2010–11), and was the guest curator of Amikejo, the 2011 season of Laboratorio 987, project space of MUSAC, León, Spain. The Dutch Assembly was an accumulation of thirty events by art institutions and artists from The Netherlands convened for ARCOmadrid 2012.

¿Qué es Latitudes?

Latitudes es una oficina curatorial independiente iniciada en abril de 2005 por Max Andrews y Mariana Cánepa Luna, que trabaja en un contexto internacional desde y en Barcelona, España. Iniciamos y desarrollamos proyectos de arte contemporáneo en asociación con instituciones y colaboramos con artistas en producciones que abarcan varias formas de organización y escala: géneros de display; prácticas editoriales y de publicación; modos de reunir, organizar y programar; así como contextos teóricos e interpretativos.

Nuestro punto de partida es abogar por la práctica de artistas que creemos son críticamente relevantes a nuestros tiempos. Nuestra actual línea de investigación incluye: prácticas micro-históricas; lo específico a un contexto, lo procesual o narrativo; expectativas de participación pública; la función del dúo; y cómo el arte y los objetos se relacionan con la obsolescencia y el valor cultural.

Proyectos recientes incluyen Lawrence Weiner – La cresta de una ola, Fundació Suñol, Barcelona (2008); Portscapes, serie de diez proyectos en el espacio público del Puerto de Rotterdam, Países Bajos (2009) y la participación en las dos ediciones No Soul For Sale: A Festival of Independents (X Initiative, Nueva York, 2009, y Tate Modern, Londres, 2010). Latitudes fue una de las organizaciones asociadas de The Last Newspaper en el New Museum, Nueva York (2010–11) y comisarios invitados de Amikejo, la temporada 2011 del Laboratorio 987, el espacio proyectual del MUSAC, León. The Dutch Assembly consistió en la acumulación de treinta eventos de instituciones y artistas de los Países Bajos convocados en ocasión de ARCOmadrid 2012.
