"Shattered Glass" Exhibition
Americas Society
This event has ended.
Shattered Glass is the result of an outstanding effort between the Americas Society Art Gallery and the Graduate Program in Art History at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM), the Museo de Arte Carrillo Gil (MACG), the Instituto Nacional de Bellas Artes y Literatura (INBAL), and the Secretaría de Relaciones Exteriores. This collaboration aims to enable graduate students to have direct access and interpret a Mexican public art collection. The curatorial approach resulting from discussions between curators Bertha Aguilar, Alejandra Olvera and Sandra Zetina with Professors Ileana Diéguez, Deborah Dorotinsky, Bolívar Echeverría, Rita Eder, and Renato González Mello found links between works that span from different time periods, which refer to the contemporary experience of violence.
As a product of a year-long academic seminar, this exhibition is an educational endeavor for the historic commemoration of the centennial of the Mexican Revolution and the bicentennial of this country's independence with patrimonial modernist artworks that rarely travel outside of Mexico. The thirty nine paintings, collages, drawings and video to be exhibited include works by David Alfaro Siqueiros, José Clemente Orozco, León Ferrari, Gunther Gerzo, Daniel Joseph Martínez, Mireia Sallarés, Pablo Vargas Lugo, Helen Escobedo, among others.
