El congreso internacional Encuentros Transatlánticos: discursos vanguardistas en España y Latinoamérica (11-13 de julio, 2013) investiga el intercambio artístico e intelectual entre España y Latinoamérica, insertándose en la actual misión del Museo Reina Sofía de convertirse en una referencia del arte latinoamericano en Europa y su compromiso como vocal de modernidades ‘periféricas’ o ‘alternativas’. La propuesta busca también contribuir a las actividades desarrolladas en relación a la exposición La invención concreta: Colección Patricia Phelps de Cisneros (Museo Reina Sofía, 23 de enero – 16 de septiembre, 2013). De esta forma, los estudios y debates aquí propuestos participan del repensamiento de la historiografía y los discursos dominantes del modernismo y la modernidad que el Museo ha fomentado a través de sus exposiciones, programas públicos y publicaciones.
