This event has ended.
Baxter St at the Camera Club of New York presents Venegas and Venegas, an exhibition of Mexican photographers Yvonne Venegas and Jose Luis Venegas. The exhibition is part of Celebrate Mexico Now Festival, a citywide celebration of the art and culture of Mexico. Ares Casado is the curator.
Yvonne Venegas’s first solo show in New York, the exhibition will include a selection from three of her projects that deal with class, aspiration, and the rituals and lifestyles of upper income communities in Tijuana and San Pedro, Monterrey. Juxtaposed with this work will be 1970’s photographs from the archive of her father, Jose Luis Venegas, a wedding and event photographer in Tijuana.
The exhibition is part of a series of guest-curated exhibitions at BAXTER ST at CCNY resulting from an open call for proposals, and is made possible in part by generous support from public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, in partnership with the City Council; The Mexican Consulate in New York; The Mexican Cultural Institute of New York; Celebrate Mexicio Now; Laboratorio Mexicano de Imagens; and Conaculta Fonca.
