Manuel Acevedo "Keys of Light"
BRAC @ Bronx Music Heritage Center
This event has ended.
Keys of Light encompasses significant projects made by Manuel Acevedo over the past ten years across a wide course of artistic practices such as photography, video/animation, drawing, and site-specific installations/interventions.
While not a survey or a retrospective, the show collates Acevedo’s underlying interest in the metaphysics of light and optics as a concrete material for intervention in public/urban and private/domestic spaces. In each of the works, the artist’s use of projections, whether physical or envisioned, is embodied with imagery native or responsive to the given work’s surrounding architecture, city or community. The effect not only casts juxtaposed utopian/dystopian illusions but also penetrates physical space to mediate the tension between material surface and the act of “looking through”—while simultaneously commenting on the tenuous relationships between the urban landscape and its citizens during pivotal moments of transformation.
