The project for the Puno Museum of Contemporary Art, is a project by the Peruvian artist Cesar Cornejo, which redefines the museum as institution based in the community in the managing as well as the infrastructure. The artist proposes to work with the neighbors of the City of Puno in order to identify unfinished spaces inside their houses which would need construction work. offerindition that in exchange they would allow usg them to do those works for free, with the con to exhibit contemporary art in the repaired spaces for a period of time. After gathering a number of spaces in different houses, we would have a musem of contemporary art spread over the city. The museum will be open to the public, the payment of an entry fee would be required which will be managed by the community itself.

| A PROJECT SPONSORED BY THE CREATIVE CAPITAL FOUNDATION AND THE NEW YORK FOUNDATION FOR THE ARTS. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| This project for the first time in Peru departs from the realityof a traditionally marginalized sector of society to create a umuseum. By addressing issues of importance to the housing and local economic activities like tourism. The project explores how reorganizing this variables aesthetically through an art and architectural proposal, a museum could have an impact in the life of the locals and become into a model for development in towns which gather similar conditions. The sharp contrast between the rough and finished spaces, would stress visually the social and political elements of the project. | ![]() |
