"Absence" Exhibition

Queens Museum of Art

This event has ended.

The art exhibition, ABSENCE, features the works of twenty three artists who were selected based on this year’s
open call inspiration theme ‘indifference and invisibility’ to reflect on the present lack of activism and public
awareness about HIV / AIDS. The exhibition includes the participation of artists who worked directly with curator,
artist, Hector Canonge, in the creation of new works that challenged their regular practice and production
methods to meet the challenges of the project. ABSENCE promises to leave a mark on audiences visiting the
gallery of the museum, and as the organizer explains, “visitors will be challenged not just to walk by the works of
art, but to seriously think and reflect on what they can, might, cannot or might not see, hear or touch.”

Participating Artists (Alphabetical order):
Desireena Almoradie, Alta Berri, Eve Biddle, Kenneth Burris, Melissa Calderon, Helen Dennis, Felipe Galindo,
Juan Hinojosa, Katarina Jerinic, Soo Im Lee, Kathleen Mallaney, Norma Marquez Orozco, Jason Mitcham,
Antonio Ortuño, J Carlos Pinto, Risa Puno, Ryan Roa, Patricio Robayo, Zefrey Throwell, Alison Ward,
Genevieve White, Plamen Yordanov, and Bowie Zunino.
