OPENING RECEPTION WITH THE ARTISTS: MARCH 8, 6:00 PM
Free Admission. Open to the public. On the Connective Corridor, East Genesee Street.
Crossings points to journeys and intersections, dealing with time and space. In its broader and more complex nature, it is related to crossbreeding, gender-crossing, and other hybrid, interdisciplinary modes. The work is a multi-faceted outcome of how the work of two artists, Nayda Collazo-Lloréns and Patricia Villalobos Echeverría, relates to each other in terms of location, mapping, identity, memory and multiplicity.
CROSSINGS is a first time collaboration, convergence, and juxtaposition of these two artistic practices. This exhibition will present a series of thirteen works on paper, and a two-channel video installation titled PLEXUS13NP.
Nayda Collazo-Lloréns: Originally from San Juan, Puerto Rico, she is a New York City based artist engaged in a multi-disciplinary practice that includes drawing, print, installation, video, text-based works and public interventions. Through her practice, she examines the way in which we perceive and process information, dealing with concepts of navigation, language and hyper-connectivity.
Patricia Villalobos Echeverría: Born in Tennessee to Salvadoran parents and raised in Managua, Nicaragua, Villalobos describes her work as a hybrid. Her print, video and installation work explores how reproducible forms of representation can alter our notions of singularity and the various states of flux that we enter: some physical, others virtual. She a Professor of Art at Western Michigan University.
