AICA Próxima No. 10 - Available now!

May 13, 2025

Diffuse Fields in the Ethics and Practice of Art Criticism and the Banalization of Criticism 

In the context of volatile contemporary times, where the boundaries between truth and falsehood, the profound and the superficial have become blurred, and the factual no longer defines public opinion, ethics and critical practice move through diffuse fields. For AICA Regional Latin America and the Caribbean, this makes the issue of banalization emerge with unusual force and demands urgent reflection, as raised in the cover article of the tenth quarterly and multilingual edition of AICA Próxima.

This tenth edition also includes extensive content on the milestones and activities organized during the first quarter of 2025 by members of nine of the twelve sections that make up AICA Regional, and how they have consistently forged paths in the artistic and cultural spheres of their respective areas of influence. The contents of this new issue not only highlight regional production and critical thinking, but also curatorship, aesthetic research, and cultural management.


AICA Próxima No 10: Campos difusos en la ética y práctica de la crítica de arte y la banalización de la crítica 

En el contexto de la volátil contemporaneidad, donde los límites entre lo verdadero y lo falso, lo profundo y lo superficial, se han vuelto borrosos, y lo factual no define la opinión pública, por lo que la ética y la práctica crítica transitan por campos difusos. Para AICA Regional América Latina y el Caribe esto hace que la cuestión de la banalización emerja con fuerza inusitada y demande una reflexión urgente como se plantea en el artículo de portada de la décima edición trimestral y multilingüe de AICA Próxima

Esta décima edición incluye, también, amplios contenidos sobre los hitos y actividades organizadas durante el primer trimestre del 2025 por los miembros de nueve de las doce secciones que integran AICA Regional y cómo vienen abriendo brecha consistentemente en la esfera artístico-cultural de sus respectivas zonas influencia. No solo se pueden visibilizar en los contenidos de este nuevo número la producción y el pensamiento crítico regional, sino también la curaduría, el comisariato, la investigación estética, y la gestión cultural.
