Vicuña coined the term “Arte Precario” in the mid-1960s as a new category for her works composed of debris and structures that disappear in the landscape, and which also include her \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003equipus\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e (“knot” in Quechua), envisioned as poems in space. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eDreaming Water\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e brings together over 200 works—including paintings, drawings, screenprints, collages, textiles, videos, photographs, installations, poetry, artist books and performances—created throughout the artist’s remarkable career. It also features several stimulating texts—a lengthy epistolary piece by curator and editor Miguel A. López as well as new essays by anthropologist Elizabeth A. Povinelli, curator Catherine de Zegher and art historian José de Nordenflycht. Vicuña herself contributes two texts, reflecting on her drawings from the “Palabrarmas” project and the activism of the group Artists for Democracy, which she cofounded in 1974. A rousing conversation between Vicuña, anthropologist Marisol de la Cadena and curator Camila Marambio also figures in the book, blending the artist’s voice with those who are experts in fields pertinent to her practice.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRM, 2024\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoftcover, 364 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7 x 10 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"RM","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42137004539984,"sku":"9788419233769","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0035\/4502\/files\/CeciliaVicuna_DreamingWater.jpg?v=1774738147","url":"https:\/\/mocastore.org\/products\/cecilia-vicuna-dreaming-water","provider":"MOCA Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
