This explains my interest in presenting this project yet again\u2014 this time, to collate and display opinions on the subject matter which would be expressed through artistic practices peculiar to South America.\n\nWebsite: www.beautifultheexposition.com","space":"An ideal exhibition space will be a well-lit gallery with a sound system and an area that can be converted into a screening room whence the documentary film will be shown. It is important that this space be adequately sized due to the multi-layers of the project which translates to a number of activities around it especially on its opening\u2014 which will include the presentation of the works and documentary premiere.","artists_proposal":"A preliminary list of potential artists to work on this project include:\n1.
