EWA: Museums, as you mentioned, are now planning on including Latin American art in the canon. At a place like the Met, where would you situate this Latin American wing?
GP-B: There’s this whole debate about what is Latin American art, the separatist position and integrationist position. I’ve always been on the integrationist side. The majority of museum directors in this country are white. They’ll say: we want to reach out to the Latin American community, so we’re going to do a Diego Rivera show. They do the show, they serve tacos and guacamole at the opening, and have a salsa band. Great, you’ve done this stereotypical event and then you’re surprised that nobody came. Nobody wants to be patronized. There’s this tension between a very sophisticated curatorial debate and institutional politics. It’s not always the case, but the idea of the Latin American wing — I’ve always thought it very problematic.
