CURRENT EXHIBITIONS

BRIDGE TO THE AMERICAS; The MOLAA Permanent Collec: URBAN & RURAL LANDSCAPE (January 2008)

Significant urban centers and rural areas are common to the Latin American Landscape. The art reveals the striking contrast between the modern industrialized city and the pastoral village countryside. The outstanding difference between the two is the scale and the use of space.

Detail: Rodolfo Stanley, "Hipnotista en el parque" 1993
Acrylic on canvas, 53 x 60 in.

SPIRITUAL & RELIGIOUS PRACTICES (July 2008)

Latin America is home to nearly one of every two Catholics in the world today; more than 80 percent of the population claims affiliation to the Roman Catholic Church. However, there also exists a strong presence of spirit world-based religions related to the ancient world of the Mesoamerican Indians and the African Yoruba and Kongo tribes.

Detail: Sir Oliver Krisch, “Tres Potencias” of the ReCortes Series, 2008

CULTURAL & POLITICAL INTERVENTION (January 2009)

Throughout Latin America’s 500 years of history, various external and internal political and cultural influences have either altered or imposed significant change to the social, economic, cultural and political identity of its people. The exhibition illustrates a broad range of intervening agents that often appear in contemporary Latin American art such as leading historic figures, national heroes and popular cultural icons from the Spanish Conquest of 1492 to the 20th century influence of popular culture icons.

ARNALDO ROCHE: Brotherhood / Hermandad: November 9, 2008 – March 22, 2009
* The Main Gallery

Arnaldo Roche (b.1955) is recognized as the preeminent post-expressionist painter of Puerto Rico. Trained in the United States, Roche studied art at the School of Art Institute of Chicago during the 1980s where he quickly earned U.S. attention for his art. Further maturing his artistic career in Puerto Rico, Roche has received international acclaim and his art is included in major museum collections around the world.

CLAUDIO GALLINA: Entre la memoria y el olvido: February 1 - May 10, 2009
* The Lexus Gallery

The exhibition, Claudio Gallina: Entre la memoria y el olvido/Between memory and oblivion is a series of works - paintings, drawings, video and installation - by Argentinean artist Claudio Gallina who is interested in childhood memories and how childhood learning influences the way we work, live and play. The central focus of the exhibition is an installation of a recreated children's classroom filled with school desks, chalkboard and a hopscotch game.

Detail: Claudio Gallina (Argentina, b. 1964), Arquitectura de la ninez/Childhood architecture, 2007, acrylic and oil on canvas, Private Collection
