Gabriella Torres-Ferrer
PRIMERA GRAN MUESTRA DE ARTE PUERTORRIQUEÑO EN UN MUSEO DE EEUU EN CASI 50 AÑOS
«No existe un mundo poshuracán: Arte puertorriqueño después del huracán María» en el Whitney Museum of American Art reúne más de cincuenta obras de un grupo intergeneracional de veinte artistas de Puerto Rico y la diáspora, cuyo arte ha respondido a los años transformadores desde el huracán María.
MONEY HAS NO SMELL
«Money Has No Smell» brings together recent works by Ignacio Gatica, Mariana Parisca, and GabriellaTorres-Ferrer that trace flows of currency to and from the artists’ places of origin -Chile, Venezuela, and Puerto Rico, respectively-, in the process addressing the complexity of globalized and interdependent financial systems.
OPERATIONAL EXCELLENCE
In a moment when cryptocurrency has swiftly become a global phenomenon, this exhibition considers the ways in which dematerialized currency and the ostensible abstraction of value still have tangible impacts. Requiring access to the internet, smart devices, and various software and hardware, the digitization of finance is presented as a seamless, worldwide network, but it in fact has roots in both Wall Street and Silicon Valley.
