细致入微地了解现代艺术博物馆 （Museum of Modern Art） 对拉丁美洲建筑的精心处理如何促进美国的政治、经济和文化利益

 

在两次世界大战期间和第二次世界大战结束后，美国政府推动了现代化、进步和民主的拉丁美洲的愿景，并努力将该地区塑造成反对法西斯主义和共产主义的合作伙伴。包括纽约现代艺术博物馆在内的许多机构的工作和产品都为这项工作提供了支持。现代艺术博物馆利用现代建筑来想象战后美国领导下的拉丁美洲，举办了轰动一时的展览，包括 Brazil Builds （1943） 和 Latin American Architecture since 1945 （1955），它们部署了种族编码的美学并强调“美国性”和“现代性”的融合在全球化的世界中。帕特里西奥·德尔·雷亚尔 （Patricio del Real） 深入研究了这一时期的激烈辩论，并展示了来自博物馆和纳尔逊·洛克菲勒档案馆的从未公开的内部文件和照片，是第一个通过拉丁美洲艺术和建筑展览全面探讨现代艺术博物馆在美国文化帝国主义中的作用及其后果的画廊。

 

A nuanced look at how the Museum of Modern Art’s carefully curated treatment of Latin American architecture promoted U.S. political, economic, and cultural interests

 

In the interwar period and immediately following World War II, the U.S. government promoted the vision of a modern, progressive, and democratic Latin America and worked to cast the region as a partner in the fight against fascism and communism. This effort was bolstered by the work and products of many institutions, including the Museum of Modern Art, New York. Using modern architecture to imagine a Latin America under postwar U.S. leadership, MoMA presented blockbuster shows, including Brazil Builds (1943) and Latin American Architecture since 1945 (1955), that deployed racially coded aesthetics and emphasized the confluence of “Americanness” and “modernity” in a globalizing world. Delving into the heated debates of the period and presenting never-before-published internal documents and photos from the museum and the Nelson A. Rockefeller archives, Patricio del Real is the first to fully address MoMA’s role in U.S. cultural imperialism and its consequences through its exhibitions on Latin American art and architecture.
