Description

Feliza Bursztyn: Welding Madness is the first English language monograph dedicated to the oeuvre of Feliza Bursztyn. Seen as a great artist in Colombia, elsewhere Bursztyn has remained relatively unknown. Revealing her dynamic treatment of materials, the publication – edited by Marta Dziewańska and Abigail Winograd – looks at Bursztyn in the context of Columbia, but also more broadly: in the context of the feminist struggles of women artists in Latin America and beyond.

Her life and work is addressed by prominent writers, researchers and curators: Julia Buenaventura (professor at the Universidad de Los Andes and Pontificia Universidad Javeriana, Bogotá), Cecilia Fajardo-Hill (art historian and curator (along with Andrea Giunta) of Radical Women in Latin American Art 1960–1985, presented and broadly acclaimed in Latin America and the US), Camilo Leyva (artist, researcher and curator of a monographic show devoted to Bursztyn and presented at Museum of Modern Art in Bogotá in 2009), Daniel Muzyczuk (researcher and curator at Muzeum Sztuki in Łódź), Lucas Ospina (writer), Sylvia Suárez (curator and writer specialised in Colombian art), Gina McDaniel Tarver (professor of modern and contemporary art history, with a focus on Latin America, at Texas State University) and Lynn Zelevansky (American art historian, former curator at the painting and sculpture department at New York's Museum of Modern Art and former director of Carnegie Museum of Art).

The publication is a comprehensive survey on the pioneering art practice of Bursztyn and seeks to reflect on and animate new tendencies in research on Feliza Bursztyn and her vibrant body of work. It features reprints of source texts and rarely published archive materials.

The book is published with the generous support of the Institute for Studies on Latin American Art
