La curaduría, el arte sonoro y la intermedia en México

Abstract

The concepts of intermedia and transdiscipline are defined and their application in the arts realm is endorsed. Intemedia art in Mexico is examined from the sixties of the twentieth century to the present. Curatorship and cultural management are highlighted as unbeatable disciplines to bring closer the different artistic disciplines and to give place to new hybrid natured creations, and a criticism is made to the incapacity of the cultural institutions to diffuse this kind of art by way of analyzing different cases of alternative and independent cultural management that have given place to interesteing intermedia curatorial projects. Also, the roles of curator as artist and artist as curator are widely abalyzed. Curatorship can be a worthy tool, not only for creating new flows of artistic creation that will allow the circulation of this type of art, but also to bring interaction between artists from different disciplines, to create social equality, and to increase communication between different social groups.
