Meetings of women and art Encuentros de las mujeres y el arte contemporary artists and their impact on Colombian art

Abstract

I have been asked to share a series of reflections on "Colombian contemporary artists" and the ways in which their artistic practices "have influenced contemporary art", constituting a timely theme to present personal positions on the categories contained in the title. In the first instance, the exhibition will deal with an approach to the concept of "contemporary art". Secondly, I consider "Colombian contemporary art" and some particularities of its emergence around the 80s of the previous century. In a third moment, I cite the work of five women artists, just as an example of several who forge their projects and works within the particularities of current art. I must clarify that I assume the term "incidence" in one of its meanings, understood as an "events of transgression"; that is to say, from the same practices of visual art and, obviously, from its conceptual break with what prevails.
