I moved from Santiago de Chile to New York in 1982. To my great disappointment, I quickly realised that New York was incredibly provincial. The art being produced and shown there was completely self-referential. It was as if no other worlds existed. Other so-called art capitals were even worse. I felt that this situation was totally anachronistic. An international exhibition in those days meant a few Americans and Germans. As an artist from Chile, I was pushed aside into small “minority” ghettos. The “art world” was a fortress. The status quo was clearly unacceptable.
