| Sumario: | This article problematizes the recent interest on the peripheral modernist projects of two key artistic figures with an interrelated trajectory in the second half of the 1930s: Joaquín Torres García (1874-1949) and Jorge Oteiza (1908-2003). The artistic work of both authors has lately been exposed within the global artistic circuit, and it is the goal of this article to analyze such endeavors taking as a starting point the influence Torres García had on Oteiza. In order to do so, I will base my readings on Andreas Huyssen´s concept of “modernism” as well as Jurgen Habermas´s postulate at the beginning of the 1980s: the hypothesis that modernity is “an unfinished project”. My goal is to unveil what we call the “shores” of official global discourses and exhibitions on peripheral modernisms. By “shores” I understand the sites that scape the imperial logic of late-capitalist accumulation. |
