Some of the most relevant art of the present is conceived through investigating and retelling history in new ways, by artists who engage with the past as a means to repair histories of violence and reconnect with undervalued cultural legacies. Meshes of Time presents artworks that find their poetic and political vitality by mobilizing histories of Latin America. Published in conjunction with an exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art, New York, the publication presents artworks by contemporary Latin American artists who, over the last four decades, have looked to history as the source material for new work. Videos, photographs, paintings, and sculptures, many of which were donated to the Museum by the Colección Patricia Phelps de Cisneros in 2018, are presented in dialogue with one another.
