NYAB Event - Wanda Raimundi-Ortiz "HUSH" and Alejandro Guzman "[ ... ] LIES THE TRUTH"

Wanda Raimundi-Ortiz "HUSH" and Alejandro Guzman "[ ... ] LIES THE TRUTH"

Taller Boricua

This event has ended.

Wanda Raimundi-Ortiz's project-space and solo exhibition "Hush" is a mixed-media combination of performance, photography, drawing and sound installation. These recent pieces are a departure from her well-known bodies of works, "Chuleta" and "Wepa Woman," that deal with broader issues of the art world, identity and social class structure from a third person perspective. Though each of these personas are autobiographical facets of the artist, they are driven by a larger sense of identity and concept of "self."
Alejandro Guzman's project-space and solo exhibition "[ ... ] Lies the Truth" incorporates two distinct yet integrated recent bodies of work: abstract geometric drawings and a mixed media, sculptural performance titled, "El Vejigante." He critically confronts limitations in the fundamental systems of beliefs by which we interact with and conceive culture. "[ ... ] Lies the Truth" examines the historical and contemporary omissions and misrepresentations of the contributions within Western social structures and ideological constructs such as identity, politics and religion.
