Esperanza Cortes and Michael Pribich “A Feather in Each Hand”
Taller Boricua
This event has ended.
Taller Boricua Galleries presents this year’s inaugural exhibition “A Feather in Each Hand” featuring a selection of work including various installations, sculptures and assemblages by these New York City artists.
ESPERANZA CORTÉS
My interest in the folk art traditions, art rituals, music and dance of Latin America, The Caribbean and Africa and their continuous and evolving changes are at the core of my sculpture, installations and interventions. I use a wide variety of materials and sculptural methods often in combinations with reworked found objects that are impregnated with cultural symbols that act as sites of memory. These artworks are about individual and collective memory and implements the human body as a symbol and expression of nature, vulnerability and power. My recent work examines the extent to which a consciousness, national or personal, defines itself through the opposing force of a transcultural experience.

MICHAEL PRIBICH
My art practice is informed by social justice issues. I use process oriented methods that symbolically or conceptually link materials and ideas. I’m interested in the artist role in responding and contributing to society by developing critical ideas that condemn, approve, or question the status quo. The importance of dreams, and desire is emphasized in overcoming obstacles that make every day life seem insurmountable.
