Latin Amer. Art Under the Same Sun-Not a Lot of Fun @ Guggenh.

Under the Same Sun:  Art fro Latin Amer. Today tells us "Latin America cannot be reduced to a single homogeneous entity." Who assumed that this was a preconceived notion?  Nonetheless, there was very little that transfixed me with this exhibit which included: videos, sculptures, installations, paintings & mixed media.  The exhibit is housed in the the 2 annexes on level 2 & 4.  This disjointed show left me unmoved except for 2 scupltures by Ericka Verzutti (b. Sao Paulo '71) Venus on Fire & Painted Lady.  The totemic sculpture was cast around indigenous fruits and was quite stunning in shape & composition.  The Painted Lady utilized material that had transformed from pumpkins and then cast.  Although not readily identifiable it was magnificient for its creativity & its molting form.  The other piece worth seeing at the exit on level 4 are 2 etchings by Marta Minujin (b. Buenos Aires '83.)   These are her plans to cover a large scale replica of the Statue of Liberty in McDonald's hamburgers for a temporary installation to be disassembled & then used to feed the population.  Her correspondences with the McD's corp. is framed alongside.   She received a rejection of her request as it is not in line with their mission of aiding only 1 individual in their projects.  Who determined this was only aiding 1 individual?
