Cierra: 17 marzo 2024

Juan Francisco Elso: Por América offers a retrospective of the late Cuban artist's brief, yet significant career. The exhibition features over 70 works by Juan Francisco Elso and a multigenerational group of artists like Glenn Ligon and Belkis Ayón, and introduces new commissions from Tiona Nekkia McClodden and Reynier Leyva Novo. Por América presents the largest survey of Elso’s career to date, showcasing the evolution of his practice, from his experimentation with new materials to incorporating Indigenous traditions, Afro-Caribbean beliefs, and post-colonial perspectives.

Organized into interrelated thematic sections featuring works by more than 30 artists, the exhibition offers vital crosscurrents between Elso’s art and the creative output of close colleagues and others who, despite having not known him, demonstrate parallel affinities. Together, Elso and this polyphonic cohort reflect a reorientation of Western attitudes towards the Americas and open new possible alternatives centered there.

Artists in this exhibition include:

Belkis Ayón. José Bedia . Ricardo Brey . Tania Bruguera . María Magdalena Campos-Pons . Luis Camnitzer . Los Carpinteros (Alexandre Arrechea, Marco Castillo and Dagoberto Rodriguez) . Albert Chong . Papo Colo (Francisco Colón Quintero) . Maria de los Angeles Rodriguez Jiménez . Jimmie Durham . Melvin Edwards. Carlos Estevez . Scherezade García . Silvia Gruner . Karlo Andrei Ibarra . Graciela Iturbide . Magali Lara . Reynier Leyva Novo . Kcho (Alexis Leyva Machado) . Glenn Ligon . Rogelio López Marin (GORY) . Ana Mendieta . Lorraine O'Grady . Marta María Pérez Bravo . Gustavo Pérez-Monzón . Michael Richards . Alison Saar . Leandro Soto . Renée Stout . Gerardo Suter . Ruben Torres Llorca . Tiona Nekkia McClodden

Por América is co-organized by guest curator Olga Viso and Susanna V. Temkin, curator at El Museo del Barrio, the show’s organizing institution.
