- Summary:
- Since 1990, the work of the Venezuelan artist Alexander Apóstol has revealed the different codes of gender, race and identity that accompany the ideologies of Latin America, incorporating the colorful, optimistic imaginary of modernization as well as the catalog of corporeal, sexualized fantasies of the continent's nationalisms and populisms. His work oscillates between Venezuela's dichotomous traditional visuals. With the help of that skeptical exteriority provided by the homosexual perspective, Apostol's art reveals the coordinated manner in which artistic representation is an accomplice and auxiliary of the modern nation-state's production of the imaginary, which depends on sexualization to give form to its fantasies. The oscillation between historical styles of regional art is also a succession of proposals for using desire and identity as secret mechanisms of domination.
