Caribbean art as a diasporic, fugitive phenomenon: a groundbreaking global surveyPublished with Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago.The 1990s were a period of profound political transformation, from the dissolution of the Eastern Bloc to the rise of trade agreements that continue to influence the world we live in today. Emerging from this pivotal decade—which also shaped the production, circulation and framing of art in the Caribbean—Forecast Form traces a path into the present, highlighting forms, materials and processes that reveal new modes of thinking about identity and place.This volume features scholarly essays alongside richly illustrated plate sections and texts focused on an intergenerational group of 37 artists working across the Americas and Europe. A radical rethinking of contemporary art in the Caribbean, Forecast Form reveals the region as a place where the past, the present and the future meet—where continuous exchanges forecast what is to come while remaining grounded in the histories that shape the present.Artists include: Candida Alvarez, Firelei Báez, Álvaro Barrios, Frank Bowling, Sandra Brewster, María Magdalena Campos-Pons, Donna Conlon and Jonathan Harker, Christopher Cozier, Julien Creuzet, Maksaens Denis, Peter Doig, Jeannette Ehlers, Tomm El-Saieh, Alia Farid, Teresita Fernández, Rafael Ferrer, Denzil Forrester, Joscelyn Gardner, Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Deborah Jack, Engel Leonardo, Daniel Lind-Ramos, Suchitra Mattai, David Medalla, Ana Mendieta, Lorraine O'Grady, Ebony G. Patterson, Keith Piper, Marton Robinson, Donald Rodney, Freddy Rodríguez, Tavares Strachan, Zilia Sánchez, Rubem Valentim, Adán Vallecillo, Cosmo Whyte and Didier William.

The first publication to examine the visual, political and spiritual histories of dancehall, reggae en español, and reggaeton through the lens of contemporary artPublished with Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago.This bilingual (English/Spanish) book is the first critical volume to cover the complexity of Caribbean popular music through the lens of contemporary art, including the ways musical and social movements such as dancehall, reggae en español and reggaeton evolved into global phenomena. The book sheds light on the genres' migrations and shifting rhythms through contemporary artworks, while underscoring their social and political impact. It opens with an introduction by former Marilyn and Larry Fields Curator and Director of Curatorial Initiatives Carla Acevedo-Yates on the early days of the "underground" scene in San Juan, Puerto Rico, and its connections to contemporary art all over the world. The other five essays by different contributors draw attention to the politics and aesthetics of Caribbean popular music and the dance hall—a space where race, sexuality and class collide. Topics include the history and global spread of Jamaican sound system culture; the transnational history of reggaeton through reggae en español in Panama and Jamaican dancehall; the ways that feminist and queer spaces and aesthetics are growing within—and against—the male-dominated spaces and/or tropes related to these musical genres; and how dance amplified the 2019 demonstrations in Puerto Rico that brought about the resignation of then-governor Ricardo Rosselló. This multilayered publication presents artworks that examine and draw inspiration from music and dance as revolutionary practices for collective liberation rooted in the struggle against colonial oppression.
