ANTONIO ALICE - Argentina
Pintor argentino nacido en Buenos Aires el 23 de febrero de 1886; muerto en la misma ciudad el 24 de agosto de 1943. Cuando contaba con doce años de edad, Cupertino del Campo, entonces estudiante de medicina, reconociendo su verdadera vocación, lo lleva al taller del pintor Decoroso Bonifanti; allí estudia durante seis años, y en 1904 se presenta al Concurso Nacional y obtiene el Premio Roma, que le permite estudiar becado en Europa. Ese mismo año parte con su maestro Bonifanti hacia Italia.
Antonio Berni - Argentina
Delesio Antonio Berni (14 May 1905 13 October 1981) was a figurative artist, born in Rosario, province of Santa Fe, Argentina. He worked as a painter, an illustrator and an engraver. His father, Napoleón Berni, was an immigrant tailor from Italy. His mother, Margarita Picco, was an Argentinian, daughter of Italians settled in Roldán, a nearby town.
By 1930 Berni was married and had a daughter. Shocked by the news of a military coup d'état in Buenos Aires (see Década Infame), he decided to go back, and settled first in the countryside, and then in Rosario, where he worked in the town hall. He organized an association of artists and students, and was briefly a member of the local Communist Party.
In 1932 he exposed his surrealist paintings. It was the first display of this art movement in Latin America, and the public was not accustomed to it; the critics condemned it.
In 1945 Berni painted one of 12 frescos on the cupola of Edifício Pacífico in Florida Street, Buenos Aires. Today the building houses the shopping arcade Galerías Pacífico where his work is still visible after 4 more frescos were added in 1990.
From 1951 to 1953 he lived in Santiago del Estero, a province in the Argentine north-west which had suffered and was still suffering massive ecological damage, mainly overexploitation of the quebracho tree (for its tannin and its hard, durable timber) by a few landowners who exploited their workers. In the following years, Berni's works reflected this natural and social tragedy. In 19551956 he painted the series Chaco, depicting the similar situation in Chaco; it was exhibited in Paris, Berlin, Warsaw, Bucharest and Moscow.
By this time he also painted some suburban landscapes, and then he invented two stock characters that would make his works recognizable worldwide, Juanito Laguna and Ramona Montiel.
A number of his paintings are on display in the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes in Buenos Aires.

Xul Solar - Argentina
Xul Solar was the adopted name of Oscar Agustín Alejandro Schulz Solari (born December 14, 1887 April 9, 1963), Argentine painter, sculptor, writer, and inventor of imaginary languages.He was born in San Fernando, Buenos Aires Province, in the bosom of a cosmopolitan family. His father, Emilio Schulz Riga, was born in the Latvian city of Riga, at that time part of Imperial Russia.He was educated in Buenos Aires, first as a musician, then as an architect (although he never completed his architectural studies). After working as a schoolteacher and holding a series of minor jobs in the municipal bureaucracy, on April 5, 1912, he set out on the ship "England Carrier", supposedly to work his passage to Hong Kong, but he disembarked in London and made his way to Turin. He returned to London to meet up with his mother and aunt, with whom he travelled to Paris, Turin (again), Genoa, and his mother's native Zoagli. Over the following few years, despite the onset of World War I, he would move among these cities, as well as Tours, Marseille, and Florence; towards the end of the war he served at the Argentine consulate in Milan.
During the years of the war, he struck up what was to be a lifelong friendship with Argentine artist Emilio Pettoruti, then a young man living in Italy and associated with the futurists. Also around that time, he began to pay more attention to painting, first with watercolor (which would always remain his main medium as a painter), although he gradually began working in tempera and — very occasionally — oils. He also adopted the pen-name of Xul Solar. His first major exhibition of his art was in 1920 in Milan, together with sculptor Arturo Martini.
In 1916, Schulz Solari first signed his work Xul Solar, ostensibly for the purposes to simplify the phonetics of his name, but an examination of the adopted name reveals that the first name is the reverse of lux, which references the measurement of luminous intensity. Combined with solar, the name reads as the intensity of the sun, and demonstrates the artists affinity for the universal source of light and energy.Xul Solar's paintings are mainly sculptures, often using striking contrasts and bright colours, typically in relatively small formats. His visual style seems equidistant between Wassily Kandinsky and Paul Klee on the one hand and Marc Chagall on the other. He also worked in some extremely unorthodox artistic media, such as modifying pianos, including a version with three rows of keys.
Fernando Demaría in an essay "Xul Solar y Paul Klee" wrote, "It is not easy for the human spirit to elevate itself from astrology to astronomy, but we would be making a mistake if we forget that an authentic astrologer, like Xul Solar, is close to the source of the stars... The primitivism of Xul Solar is anterior to the appearance of the Gods. The Gods correspond to a more evolved form of energy."
Xul Solar had a strong interest in astrology; at least as early as 1939 he began to draw astrological charts. He also had a strong interest in Buddhism and believed strongly in reincarnation. He also developed his own set of Tarot cards. His paintings reflect his religious beliefs, featuring objects as stairs, roads and the representation of God.
He invented two fully elaborated imaginary languages, symbols from which figure in his paintings, and was also an exponent of duodecimal mathematics. He said of himself "I am maestro of a writing no one reads yet." One of his invented languages was called "Neo Criollo", a poetic fusion of Portuguese and Spanish, which he reportedly would frequently use as a spoken language in talking to people. He also invented a "Pan Lingua", which aspired to be a world language linking mathematics, music, astrology and the visual arts, an idea reminiscent of Hermann Hesse's "glass bead game". Indeed, games were a particular interest of his, including his own invented version of chess, or more precisely "non-chess".
Outside of Argentina, Xul Solar may best be known for his association with Borges. In 1940, he figured as a minor character in Borges's fictional "Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius"; in 1944, he illustrated a limited edition (300 copies) of "Un modelo para la muerte", written by Borges and Adolfo Bioy Casares, writing together under the pseudonym B. Suárez Lynch. He and Borges had common interests in German expressionistic poetry, the works of Emanuel Swedenborg, Algernon Charles Swinburne and William Blake, and Eastern philosophy, especially Buddhism and the I Ching.
A number of his paintings are on display at the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes in Buenos Aires.

Alfredo Jaar in his installation "Infinite Cell" (2004) in Santiago, Chile, and various works.
Through installations, photographs, and community-based projects, Alfredo Jaar explores the public's desensitization to images and the limitations of art to represent events such as genocides, epidemics, and famines. Jaar's work bears witness to military conflicts, political corruption, and imbalances of power between industrialized and developing nations, often taking the form of an extended meditation or elegy.

Fernando Botero - Colombia
Íntimamente crítica y feroz es la mirada que lanza el pintor y escultor colombiano Fernando Botero sobre Abu Ghraib y las torturas y violaciones infligidas en esa cárcel iraquí por el ejército estadounidense. En entrevista exclusiva, el maestro Botero, desde sus estudios en París, explica a Radio Nederland que la serie Abu Ghraib tiene su semilla en la indignación e ira que le provocaron las imágenes y artículos escritos sobre el horror que allí tuvo lugar.
Fernando Botero, Artist in conversation with Robert Hass, Professor of English, UC Berkeley.
Fernando Botero, the most famous living Latin American artist, will display his Abu Ghraib paintings at the University of California, Berkeley. These 47 paintings and drawings belong to a long tradition of artistic statements against war and violence that include Goya's Caprichos and Picasso's Guernica.
Organized by the Center for Latin American Studies, these paintings have never been displayed in a public institution in the United States. The exhibit was "proposed to many museums in the U.S," according to the artist, but all declined to show it.

Regina José Galindo - Guatemala
Regina José Galindo the second exhibition in Exit Arts SOLO series and the first in the Performance in Crisis program is a ten-year survey of performance and installation work by the Guatemalan artist Regina José Galindo. Recalling the political and poetic gestures of Ana Mendieta, the endurance feats of Tehching Hsieh, and the extreme actions of Chris Burden, Regina José Galindo creates powerful visual metaphors by establishing her body as a site of conflict. Indeed her compelling and sometimes disturbing body of work shows Galindo chained, trapped, drowned, brutalized, and anguished. Her body becomes a specimen, a potent representation of brutality and agitation.

Gabriel Orozco - Mexico
Gabriel Orozco uses the urban landscape and everyday objects to twist conventional notions of reality. He considers philosophical problems, such as the concept of infinity, and evokes them in humble moments. Matching his passion for political engagement with poetry, Orozco's works propose a distinctive model for the ways in which artists can affect the world with their work.
