Eros Rising: Visions of the Erotic in Latin American Art

Eros Rising: Visions of the Erotic in Latin American Art

Eros Rising: Visions of the Erotic in Latin American Art

Curated by Mariano López Seoane and Bernardo Mosqueira, Eros Rising: Visions of the Erotic in Latin American Art presents drawings, paintings, and photographs by Artur Barrio, Oscar Bony, Carmelo Carrá, Feliciano Centurión, David Lamelas, Castiel Vitorino Brasileiro, Carlos Motta, Wynnie Mynerva, La Chola Poblete, and Tadáskía that seek to give form to the intangible experience of eroticism. Inspired by a series of pastel drawings by David Lamelas (b.1946, Argentina) from 2014–2015, Eros Rising explores how artists have subverted conventional representations of sex—often based in the objectification and categorization of the body—to instead convey the myriad sensations bound up in erotic encounters. The featured artists reimagine sensuality in surreal representations that question the limits between the real and the fictitious, decentering the body by fragmenting it or displacing it altogether. Viewed collectively, these works challenge codified expressions of sensuality and static definitions of the human to envision the body as radically open. Encompassing a broad range of perspectives and styles, Eros Rising presents a cross-section of intergenerational artists who have contested the restrictive boundaries of identification, grasping for more fluid and expansive conceptions of the self and the erotic. The exhibition will open with a reception on Thursday, June 16 from 5 to 8 PM. Capacity will be limited, and guests are asked to sign up in advance using this online form.

ISLAA is open from 2 to 5 PM on Tuesday and from 2 to 7 PM from Wednesday to Friday. Guests must wear masks while on-site. Although walk-ins are allowed, visitors are encouraged to book appointments in advance.
