Artesur, Collective Fictions takes shape through a collaborative process of writing and curating. Informed directly by The Floating Admiral – a collaborative detective novel, Artesur, Collective Fictions uses the model of the exquisite corpse as an access entry to arte-sur.org, a rich on-line archive dedicated to the presentation and dissemination of contemporary art from Latin America.

Artesur, Collective Fictions is a result of this collaborative process in which meaning is created through a subjective dialogue and relation between the works. Shaped by the restrictions of the website and a mediated access to work, the exhibition plays out the specificities of on-line resources raising questions of access and distribution and new curatorial methodologies in a globalized context.
