The MEIAC, Impulsor of the Latin American Art in Spain at the End of the 20th Century

Abstract

The dimension of the Meiac as a diffuser of Latin American art has been key in Spain in the late twentieth century. The genesis of the museum, its cultural policy of debate and diffusion, and the creation of a Latin American collection, which until then did not exist in Spain, forced Spanish art criticism to look at and reconsider work from Latin America. At present the Meiac has developed the new technological platforms, as a new perspective of identity and common imaginaries between Spain and Latin America.
