"The Pleasure’s All Mine" Exhibition

This event has ended.

The Pleasure’s All Mine, a curatorial collaboration between Lu Magnus and Diablo Rosso galleries, brings together an international line-up of artists

In a global economy where borders and demarcations become less tangible, multicultural cities become areas of transit. Two parallels emerge: the Lower East Side, represented by Lu Magnus in the borough of Manhattan; and Panama, represented by Diablo Rosso, in Latin America. Though each entity vastly differs from the other, there is one similarity between the two - these dual epicenters are a hotbed of strength, life and energy.

In New York, the Lower East Side has become the neurological center of New York City. Historically then as it still does today, hegemonic forces by immigrants are concentrated in these few city blocks before dispersing through the rest of the metropolis. Likewise, Panama, center of the Americas due to its strategic position between two oceans, has been a global city even before globalization began. Local microcosms coexist and spur freely in this so-called borderless world.
This collaboration is a sign of the times. The artists in this exhibition reflect the duality of individual practice in a global world yet reflect the cross-pollination of ideas and a shared universal cultural vocabulary.
