ArtNexus

ArtNexus is the leading magazine to cover the contemporary art of Latin America.^[2] From its documentation center in Bogota, the magazine covers visual art and architecture.^[3] By publishing in both Spanish and English, the magazine fulfilled its goal to be "The Nexus Between Latin America and the Rest of the World."^[4]

Structure and Mission

The current editor and publisher is Maria Jose Ramirez Almanza.^[5] The quarterly magazine is funded by two non-profit organizations, Fundación ArtNexus in Colombia and ArtNexus Foundation in the United States.^[6] The magazine and foundation's United States location is in North Miami, Florida.

The foundations sponsor scholarship, research archives, and public symposia. In 2011, Funación ArtNexus earned a $127,500 grant from the Getty Foundation to host Intellectual Networks: Art and Politics in Latin America, in which scholars researched artistic and scholarly networks throughout Latin America during the mid-twentieth century.^[7] This resulted in a major exhibition of historical documents at the Museo de Arquitectura Leopoldo Rother at the National University of Colombia.^[8] ArtNexus hosts events at major Latin American art fairs, including the International Art Fair of Bogota^[9] and Art Basel Miami.^[10]

ArtNexus also hosts awards for outstanding living Latin American artists.^[11] It also hosts art exhibitions at Espacio Art Nexus in the Las Nieves neighborhood of Bogota.^[12]

Background

The magazine was founded in 1976 in Bogota, Colombia.^[13] Initially it was named Arte en Colombia and focused on Colombian art; however, in 1991, it changed its name to ArtNexus and expanded its scope to include the entire contemporary Latin American art scene.^[4][14]
