The questions that will be addressed in the following document are divided in two main areas. The first part is dedicated to the understanding of the art field in Bogotá, Colombia. The city has become one of the most important cities in South America and the financial center of the Andean region, with a creative and innovative spirit. The city hosts many multinational headquarters, and has different venues for events and conventions making it a privileged destination for people from different fields around the world. The cultural agenda of the city includes more than 60 museums and art galleries and around 50 independent spaces. Many experts and reviewers agree that Colombia has one of the best economies in the region and Bogotá is at the heart of the blooming the country has experienced in the past 12-15 years. The city has undergone changes in many areas and the cultural sphere displays the positive consequences of this development.
The understanding of the art field in Bogotá is a necessary step in the development of the project that constitutes the second part of the document: the proposal of a project that should take place in the city during 2017. The questions that will be approached in this part of the document include, the process of organizing and curating an artistic project since the first steps of it and keeping track of all the research, the methodology followed, the exchange with artists, curators, institutions and other actors involved. A description of the current status of the project, the implications it will have for the art field and the actors involved in its development and the expectations in a micro and macro scale are going to be part of the conclusions.
