1.     otherness (noun)           ˈʌðənɪs/
the quality or fact of being different. "the developed world has been celebrating Latin American art while altogether denying its otherness"

2.     Otherness is due less to the difference of the Other than to the point of view and the discourse of the person who perceives the Other as such.
–Jean-François Staszak

3.     Alterity or otherness, the philosophical principle of exchanging one's perspective for that of the "other"

The Other is often seen as the outsider, one that does not belong, or even an exotic. This exhibition presents a group of contemporary artists who communicate using a universalised language, but who have their own perspectives on the root of their common cultural heritage: Latin America.

Each artist's subjective vision is built and influenced by specific contexts (Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Mexico and Peru), which does not correspond to the constructed stereotype of Otherness. Yet, the urge to take into account the Other's gaze from peripheral histories and narratives for the sake of alterity persists. The drive of unfolding global ethos has rendered such labels that seem redundant and even democratised to capitalise on particular backgrounds. Constructed Otherness lays out Latin American artists' standpoints and aims to make them visible to the spectator not through otherness, but instead proposes an immersion into these artists' own perspectives.

The exhibition focuses on works in paper as a medium, seeing it as a response to the challenges faced by artists in an increasingly media-saturated world. As a curatorial choice, it seeks to enhance this group of artists' motivations when engaging with key practices and establishing their own conversations.

1. otredad (noun) ˈʌðənɪs/
La cualidad o hecho de ser diferente.

2. La Otredad se debe menos a la diferencia con el Otro que al punto de vista del Otro y al discurso de la persona que lo percibe como tal.
–Jean-François Staszak

3. Alteridad o Otredad, el principio filosófico de intercambiar la propia perspectiva por la del “Otro”

El Otro es visto frecuentemente como un extraño, alguien que no pertenece, o incluso excluido, un ente exótico. Esta exposición presenta a un grupo de artistas contemporáneos que utilizan un lenguaje universalizado para comunicar su propia perspectiva que, sin embargo, tiene su origen en una herencia cultural compartida: Latinoamérica.

La visión de cada artista es subjetiva, está construida e influenciada por su contexto (Argentina, Brasil, México y Perú), que no corresponden al estereotipo –social o cultural– construido de Otredad. Sin embargo, la necesidad de considerar el punto de vista del Otro, la mirada de historias y narrativas periféricas exclusivamente en aras de la alteridad en lugar de la inclusividad, persiste. La necesidad de crear un ethos-global ha fabricado etiquetas del Otro que caen en lo redundante e incluso en la democratización y capitalización de la identidad local. Otredad Construida es una muestra que propone un acercamiento al trabajo de artistas latinoamericanos, con el objetivo de hacer visible su concepción y relación con sus entornos a través de su obra.

Esta exposición se enfoca en el papel como medio, viéndolo como una opción para afrontar los retos que estos artistas afrontan en un mundo cada vez más mediatizado. Bajo dicho criterio curatorial, esta muestra a la vez busca destacar las motivaciones que han llevado a este grupo de artistas a trabajar con estas técnicas y establecer una conversación entre ellos.
