EXHIBITION: ...Of the Americas

The politics of identity, abstraction and conceptualism are aspects of contemporary art in the Americas. And, not surprisingly, such concerns belong to artists of many diverse backgrounds.

...OF THE AMERICAS: Contemporary Latin American Art focuses on the ways Latino artists have carved out a place within the mainstream of art history or have positioned themselves against it.

From the LUAG Teaching Collection, the works are on view through June 4, 2016, at the LUAG Lower Gallery in the Zoellner Arts Center.

Artists such as Diego Rivera, Wifredo Lam and José Clemente Orozco have become highly visible, but countless other artists from Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, Chile, Cuba, Jamaica, Ecuador and elsewhere have contributed to the complex story of contemporary art.

The artists, reflecting aspects of gender, diaspora, poetics and political commentary, address the reality of life in the 20th and 21st centuries. To see images from the exhibit, go to luag.org.
