¡Printing the Revolution!
The Rise and Impact of Chicano Graphics, 1965 to Now
March 14-May 14, 2022
Amon Carter Museum of American Art, Forth Worth TX.
Traveling exhibition that originated at the Smithsonian American Museum.
This exhibition is the first to unite historic civil rights era prints alongside works by contemporary printmakers, including several that embrace expanded graphics that exist beyond the paper substrate. While the dominant mode of printmaking among Chicanx artists remains screen-printing, this exhibition features works in a wide range of techniques and presentation strategies, from installation art, to public interventions, augmented reality, and shareable graphics that circulate in the digital realm. The exhibition also is the first to consider how Chicanx mentors, print centers, and networks nurtured other artists, including several who drew inspiration from the example of Chicanx printmaking.

Boundless
May 4-June 22, 2022
Rachel Feferman & Sherry Grover Galleries/ Bainbridge Island Museum of Art, WA
curated by: Cynthia Sears and Catherine Alice Michaelis
Boundless celebrates the visionary ideals of the artist’s book which often challenge, in the best of ways, our preconceived notions of what a book can be. Boundless explores the vast field of artist’s books, but also the thinking of book artists. Each work reveals the mapping and laying bare of uncomfortable, surprising, or unexplored terrain.

VOIX Immigration
23 août-10 octobre 2021 Pauly Friedman Art Gallery, Misericordia University Dallas, PA 18612 Réception d'ouverture 14 septembre, 17h30-19h30 Les œuvres de l'exposition racontent des histoires de découverte de communauté et de compréhension dans un nouvel environnement. Drummond, une immigrante de la Jamaïque, utilise des œuvres à base de fils aux couleurs vives dans sa série « Les Derrières » pour se concentrer sur les attentes culturelles de l'image corporelle. Fernández, qui a grandi en Équateur, s'est inspirée des expériences d'étudiants sans papiers lorsqu'elle était enseignante à l'Université du Texas pour créer une installation artistique de chapelets blancs suspendus. Le pinceau lâche de Kommanivanh reflète son enfance en tant qu'immigrant du Laos. Les œuvres sculpturales de Manalo contiennent les textures d'objets ménagers que vous pourriez trouver dans une maison philippine-américaine. À l'aide de peintures qu'il mélange à la main, Shpanin, né dans l'ex-URSS, associe les symboles de l'art populaire aux couleurs de l'art numérique. Whelan s'inspire des thèmes de son héritage irlandais et recrée la surface réfléchissante des icônes catholiques à l'aide d'emballages en papier de chocolat réutilisés.

Histoires de migration
14 août-25 septembre 2021 Commissaire invitée : Tara Sabharwal Wilmer Jennings Gallery at Kenkeleba/ 219 East 2nd st. à Avenue B New York, New York 10009| Il y a aujourd'hui plus de 80 millions de personnes déplacées dans le monde. Nous savons maintenant que les causes de la migration sont nombreuses, complexes et mondiales par nature – colonisation, esclavage, néo-colonialisme, catastrophes environnementales, extinction ethnique, persécution politique, guerre, pauvreté – la liste s'allonge. Dans le même temps, les réfugiés du monde entier sont également confrontés à une vague de xénophobie. Ici, « l'autre » est non seulement diabolisé, mais aussi transformé en menace existentielle. En cette ère d'anxiété globale, la simple « altérité de l'autre » devient une autre source d'anxiété. Les artistes de cette exposition ont plus que affronté des idées et des situations difficiles. Grâce à leur art, non seulement ils survivent, mais ils s'épanouissent intellectuellement et spirituellement, et ils nous offrent des conceptions uniques de la beauté, de la perspicacité et de la reconnaissance et de la compréhension qui en découlent.

Many Wests : des artistes façonnent une idée américaine
31 juillet 2021 - 13 février 2022 Boise Art Museum | 670, promenade Julia Davis | Boise, Idaho 83702 | T 208-345-8330 | Les idées sur l'Ouest américain, à la fois dans l'imagination populaire et dans les récits historiques communément acceptés, sont souvent basées sur un passé qui n'a jamais existé et ne tiennent pas compte des événements importants qui se sont réellement produits. À la fois, « l'Occident » peut évoquer des images de colons coloniaux robustes, de cow-boys armés d'armes à feu ou d'étendues vacantes d'une beauté naturelle. Many Wests: Artists Shape an American Idea offre de multiples vues de « l'Ouest » à travers les perspectives de quarante-huit artistes modernes et contemporains. Leurs œuvres remettent en question les clichés anciens et racistes, examinent des histoires tragiques et marginalisées et éclairent les nombreuses communautés et événements qui continuent de former cette région des États-Unis. L'exposition explore les manières spécifiques dont les artistes façonnent activement notre compréhension de la vie, de l'histoire et des mythes de l'Ouest américain. uvres de l'exposition : Mojándose II (Traversée) et Cruzado (Installé) De la collection The
Imprimer la Révolution ! L'essor et l'impact de Chicano Graphics de 1965 à nos jours.
20 novembre 2020 — 8 août 2021 Smithsonian American Museum | Galerie Renwick| (8e et G Street, NW) Washington DC, 20013-7012 | L'exposition explore l'essor des graphismes chicanos au sein des premiers mouvements sociaux et la manière dont ils ont progressé en créant des pratiques de gravure innovantes adaptées à la justice sociale. L'exposition est également la première à examiner comment les mentors, les centres d'impression et les réseaux de Chicanx ont nourri d'autres artistes, dont plusieurs qui se sont inspirés de l'exemple de la gravure de Chicanx. uvre dans l'émission : Deuil et rêve haut : Con mucha fé.
