Pulgar 16 : intervención

Pulgar is a free magazine published independently in Caracas (Venezuela) and supported by the Prince Claus Fund (Holland). The magazine, edited since 1999 by artist and curator Luís Romero (Venezuela, 1967) defines itself as an ‘occasional publication’. This term is a key factor in understanding the magazine’s founding concept: a tool for alternative creative dissemination based on the excellence of its published materials. Not complying to a specific periodicity or a luxury status, its clearly defined visual identity responds only to the curatorial rigour demanded of each new issue. With a track record of over 20 issues designed and produced by curators and artists from around the world, Pulgar currently attracts a faithful readership in Latin America, Asia and Europe.

This issue of Pulgar documents Intervención, an event held at the beginning of the year 2000 at Quinta Mezzogiorno in El Rosal, Caracas.

Pulgar thanks Caro Blaha and Javier León for facilitating the published material and Ana de Azcárate for the editing of the texts. The text is by Luis Romero.
