The Foundation Center for Ecuadorian contemporary art (Fundacion Centro ecuatoriano de arte contemporaneo – CEAC) has proposed the development of different projects that seeks to promote the notion of Ecuadorian art which emphasizes the value both of the object of social circulation, stripped from the stereotypes which would traditionally define it, and capable of discussing it in relation to the society housing it. The projects initiated with the an ample investigation of contemporary local production, developed by a multidisciplinary team, which attempts to obtain a geography of concepts and forms which illustrate the real character of contemporary artistic production in Ecuador, thus providing a critical analysis which leads to an expeditious reading. Thus our projects attempts a series of strategies of social insertion for the studied production, including debate forums, workshops, seminars, artistic encounters, collective exhibits.
