Izvleček:The work of Latin American constructive and kinetic artists produced in the nineteen-sixties is well recognized by art histories. It has been the topic of countless exhibitions and enjoyed increasing value on the international art market. Notwithstanding, the valorization of those contributions and their interactions still requires novel visions capable of dislodging crystalized readings. We ask ourselves, then, in what scenes these emerging proposals took shape. How did artists come into contact and engage in exchange? What were their guiding interests?In this paper, I attempt to retrace some of the paths Argentine constructive artists drew in their interest in communicating their proposals and forging artistic exchanges. In so doing, I seek to shed light on zones neglected by art history’s traditional narratives. I attempt to observe the convergences and divergences between the paths drawn by those artists without falling into the notion of subalternity at play in those traditional narratives.
