Statement

"Rethinking materials and concepts of materiality" Eduardo Costa
"Eduardo Costa, a member of the first generation of Latin American conceptualists, gives us first hand insights into the artistic and political moment in Latin America that preceded hegemonic conceptual art. He offers us an invaluable personal document about a time that only recently has become the subject of academic study" Luis Camnitzer
