Relational Undercurrents: Contemporary Art of the CAribbean ARCHIPELAGO
Relational Undercurrents: Contemporary Art of the Caribbean Archipelago, curated by Dr. Tatiana Flores, offers a reading of twenty-first century artistic production of the Caribbean that employs the archipelago as an analytical framework. The exhibition focuses, first and foremost, on locating thematic continuities in the art of the Caribbean islands. Through the trope of the archipelago, Relational Undercurrents challenges the understanding of the Caribbean as discontinuous, isolated, hermetic, and beyond comprehension. The exhibition is divided into four thematic sections; Conceptual Mappings, Perpetual Horizons, Landscape Ecologies and Representational Acts and features work by artists who have informed and shaped those themes. The exhibition includes painting, installation art, sculpture, photography, video, and performance.
Pacific Standard Time: LA/LA is a far-reaching and ambitious exploration of Latin American and Latino art in dialogue with Los Angeles. This new Pacific Standard Time collaboration will present 60+ exhibitions and events from San Diego to Santa Barbara, celebrating diverse and rich subjects from luxury objects in the pre-Columbian Americas to 20th-century Afro-Brazilian art, from studies of individual artists to broad surveys that encompass artists from numerous countries. Pacific Standard Time: LA/LA will go beyond the visual arts to touch on music, dance, performance, literature and even cuisine. It’s a celebration beyond borders beginning September 2017–January 2018. For more information visit: http://pacificstandardtime.org/
