Luis Camnitzer in Conversation with/en conversación con Alexander Alberro is the eighth book in the Conversaciones/Conversations series. Camnitzer, along with art historian and professor Alexander Alberro, explores his unique approach to conceptualism and art as pedagogy. The book also includes an introductory essay by Gabriel Pérez-Barreiro.
Born in Germany in 1937 and raised in Uruguay, Luis Camnitzer has been an influential artist, theorist, professor, and curator for nearly five decades. He was at the forefront of 1960s conceptualism, working in printmaking, sculpture, installation, and other media. Camnitzer's work challenges our perception of reality and the status quo and is characterized by his hilarious and politically charged use of language to highlight themes of power and commodification.
