The definition of a contemporary art in Latin America goes through a sum of complex elements. On one hand, it is normal trying to enter globalized discussion about it, and on the other hand, it has been necessary to resist introducing oneself to the local determinants of cultural transformations. During 2000 and 2001 the Art Biennial of the National Museum of Fine Arts (MNBA) project was developed in Santiago de Chile. Its focus was reviewing the systems of social representation, and the various devices of symbolic production that determined the artistic field. This experienced was rejected by the local media, but it delivered several results. This article highlights most references used in this project, as well as the means by which this methodological option was structured around the possibility, or impossibility, of a local contemporary art.
