MOLAA ZOOM PROJECT with Alexandre Arrechea (Cuba)

  • Museum of Latin American Art 628 Alamitos Avenue Long Beach, CA, 90802 United States (map)

Each chapter will feature a conversation between the most remarkable artists from Latin America and Latinx in the U.S. and our MOLAA Chief Curator Gabriela Urtiaga. Together we will focus on a series or specific artwork which requires a close inspection, a deliberate process of contemplation, and exploration; delving into the ideas surrounding the creation of the works, their sources of research and inspiration, in an effort to immerse ourselves in the world of the artists.

In this chapter of MOLAA Zoom Project, where MOLAA's Chief Curator Gabriela Urtiaga will join multi-disciplinary artist Alexandre Arrechea for a conversation exploring Arrechea’s artistic production. Alexandre's work of large-scale installations and sculptures, drawings and videos, work to investigate cultural resonances implicit in architecture, from design to social value, and how these impact its various readings. This approach to dissecting architectural anatomies and spaces, explores the possibility of the multiple conflicts embedded in them as result of the many decisions inherent in their structures and in their histories.
