Sabotage is the deliberate disruption of a dominant system; be it political; military or economic. Yet in recent decades; sabotage has also become an artistic strategy ndash; most notably in Latin America. In Brazil; Colombia; Mexico; Chile and Argentina; artists are producing radical; unruly or even iconoclastic work that resists state violence; social conformity and the commodification of art. Sabotage Art reveals how contemporary Latin American artists have resorted to lsquo;sabotagersquo; strategies as a means to bridge the gap between aesthetics and politics.
