“It was everyone’s task to detect new visual artists, reach out to renowned ones, and place diverse generations into a dialogue, connecting emerging and established talents. This was an aim, a working principle, and it was our goal to elaborate a model with a Latin American contour, but not limited to it, or better yet, make a statement that demanded the incorporation of the other in order to fully grasp that contour…
“Out of the generosity of many artists who collaborated with Point of Contact, a collection began to grow, which, through the years took a peculiar form. It does not respond to the usual criteria of art collections, such as periods, geographies, or artistic tendencies, but rather it unites a well-defined cultural calling, an almost romantic faith in the aesthetic experience as our main redeemer.”
Ana Tiscornia, 2015
