poster for Luis Mallo "Open Secrets. Recent Photographs"

This event has ended.

Praxis International Art is proud to present Open Secrets, recent photographs by Luis Mallo (b. Havana, Cuba. 1962). A selection of the works recently exhibited at the Project Gallery of The Jersey City Museum will be on view.

In this series of photographs, Luis Mallo enters the world of museum storage spaces, giving us access to the confidential and forbidden rooms that hold the valuable objects of our historic and cultural identity. Mallo breaches the walls that keep most of us out, but, at the same time, manages to maintain the secrecy and sanctity of the private space, leaving it mostly undisturbed and not seeking to fully expose or unveil it. We receive then, in these visually arresting images, a language of labels and signs, side views and partial indicators of what we still cannot fully see . The mystery of the locked storage door remains in the image even though we have entered the room and we remain engaged in the hope to further decipher and identify the treasures being presented to us.
