Join Korea Art Forum on Saturday, March 26, 2022, from 7 PM – 8 PM to kick off the 2022 Shared Dialogue, Shared Space spring program. Shared Dialogue, Shared Space (SDSS) is a series of one-day interactive art initiatives presented for free in NYC Parks connecting immigrant communities and underserved ethnic enclaves to visual arts and culture through language access and participatory art activities. Meet artists participating in the spring 2022 Shared Dialogue, Shared Space program, preview their works, and learn about the varied processes behind creating public art works.
Since 2020, Shared Dialogue, Shared Space has broadened channels of communication between the contemporary art world and immigrant communities in New York City. Focused on the expansion of public access to art, the project fosters audience discourse, exploring a wide range of subject matters and the multidimensional role of art in the processes of cultural production and social change. SDSS activities are offered to populations with limited English proficiency (LEP) free of charge with translation services in English, Chinese, Korean, and Spanish at local parks embedded in the community.
For this event, we are joined by artists Alicia Grullón, Ana Paula Cordeiro, Arantxa Araujo, Cody Herrmann, David Yonghwan Lee, Eunhae Park, Gina Goico, Jeanne F. Jalandoni, Lily & Honglei, LuLu LoLo, Priscilla Marrero, Rosamond S. King, and Stephanie Alvarado; and by curators Jennifer McGregor, Nicolás Dumit Estévez Raful Espejo and Heng-Gil Han.

Operating at the intersection of the visual arts and humanities, KAF annually produces interrelated projects—Commissions, Exhibitions, Forums, and Publications—to bring together all people from the art world and beyond to share dialogues, serving to build an interconnected peaceful world and support diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility.
The 2022 Shared Dialogue, Shared Space program is supported, in part, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in Partnership with the City Council, and is made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature. Programs serving Inwood, Manhattan are supported, in part, by funding from the Upper Manhattan Empowerment Zone Development Corporation and administered by Lower Manhattan Cultural Council.

Thank you.
This three gallery exhibition has been thoughtfully curated by Sarah Cho, Curatorial Assistant of American Painting & Sculpture and Decorative Arts, and Virginia Anderson, Curator of American Art, and has been in-the-making for a few years since my research began at the Smithsonian Institution in 2018. I will be present at the May 15 opening in addition to holding two in-person workshops “Aromatic Realities,” on May 19 and 21 (stay tuned for registration details). I hope to see some familiar faces there!
I will also be delivering a keynote presentation about my creative process on March 25 for the 5th Annual NYU Liberal Studies Student Research Colloquium. Some of my works will be shown at Lyndhurst Mansion, SVA MA Curatorial Practice and Apex Art as part of their group shows. Dates are below. This March I created a VR work at the US Customs House, Bowling Green, NY, as part of the #MakeUsVisible campaign! This was generously organized by XR Ensemble. You can see the works through end of March. Details below.
Warm wishes,
Beatrice

8. Raphael Montañez Ortiz, FF Alumn, at El Museo del Barrio, Manhattan, April 14-Sept. 11, 2022
Raphael Montañez Ortiz
A Contextual Retrospective
April 14–September 11, 2022
Press preview: April 13, 10am–12pm, for press members only

Thank you.
El Museo del Barrio is pleased to present Raphael Montañez Ortiz: A Contextual Retrospective, from April 14 to September 11, 2022, the first large-scale exhibition since 1988 dedicated to the artist, activist, educator, and founder of El Museo del Barrio. Curated by El Museo’s chief curator, Rodrigo Moura, and guest curator Julieta González, the exhibition spans several decades of his production, from the 1950s to the early-2020s, in different media such as film, painting, photography, video installations, documents, and assemblages. This is the largest exhibition-to-date dedicated to the artist.
“This show offers an especial opportunity to experience a full arc of Montañez Ortiz trajectory and attests the radicality of his oeuvre. Throughout his career, this true pioneer bridged his artistic practice with a unique vision as an educator and activist, of which El Museo is the most lasting result,” says Moura.
Raphael Montañez Ortiz is a central figure in US postwar art, whose pioneering practice began with trail-blazing experimental film works in 1957. In the 1960s, he was a key figure in the international Destruction Art movement, with performative actions that would result in powerful sculptures made from destroyed objects. His practice expands art historical references, from US Abstract Expressionism and Dada to identity and his upbringing in a Puerto Rican family in New York. At the same time, his work was informed by an ongoing interest in psychoanalysis and anthropology, which resulted in his exploration of shamanic practices and the therapeutic and healing potential of art, parallel to his research into pre-Hispanic cultures. This is a constant concern that runs from the early destruction pieces such as the Archaeological Finds to his later performative actions and works addressing the indigenous cultures of the Americas.
“At Bank of America, we value how the arts help economies thrive, educate and enrich societies, and create greater cultural understanding,” said José Tavarez, President, Bank of America New York City. “It’s a privilege to partner with El Museo, an institution that shares these values and demonstrates them through rich programming and wide-ranging exhibitions, including this comprehensive survey on its founder—a true NYC pioneer in celebrating, sharing and preserving culture.”
The exhibition is divided into four sections exploring the contributions of Montañez Ortiz to art of the 20th and 21st centuries. These include Destruction, that focus on his early films and assemblages and a large group of Archaeological Finds, with works from different American and European Museum collections seen together for the first time; Decolonization and Guerrilla Tactics, which addresses his Puerto Rican background and related activism, including his participation in the foundation of El Museo del Barrio and his engagement with other groups at the time, such as the Art Workers Coalition, the Guerrilla Art Action Group, the Taller Boricua, and the Judson Gallery; Ethnoaesthetics, referring to a term coined by him and dealing with forms of resistance to cultural ethnocentrism; and Physio-Psycho-Alchemy, which explores the core concept of his doctoral thesis and the works he made in this direction, where meditation, ritual, and breathing practices are at the center of a series of performative and participative works. In addition, the section presents his videos produced in the 1980s where cutting and editing are employed to produce almost hypnotic effects.
As guest curator Julieta González states, “the notion of an authenticating art, as referred to by Montañez Ortiz, provides the framework for this exhibition—a singular concept that takes on a range of interconnected meanings in his practice, pointing to a series of issues, experiences, and epistemological constructs that inform his production: from ethnoaesthetics as arising from a decolonial impulse to the healing dimension of art he explored with his physio-psycho-alchemy.”
Emerged in the context of US neo-avant-garde Postwar art and exploring his Indigenous, Latin-American, and Puerto Rican backgrounds, Montañez Ortiz brings a unique voice to the art of his time, influential to successive new generations of younger artists. Contextual presentations are interwoven throughout the exhibition, placing his work in dialogue with other practitioners across chronologies, geographies, and aesthetic affiliations.
Following the presentation at El Museo, the retrospective will travel to Museo Tamayo in Mexico City, where it will be on view from October 15, 2022 through April 2, 2023.

Making Sense Without Consensus at Equity Gallery
The exhibition is open now until April 2nd, gallery hours Wednesday – Saturday from 12-6 pm.
Consensus presupposes that a question has a single answer: the truth. More and more we understand those truths to be dogmatic, follow biases or are results of single minded ways of thinking. What was once considered normal may have been societal constructions and therefore changeable. Instead of going back to a dual world, the artists move forward into new dimensions by building a dynamic reality in their creative open ended processes. Artists include:Ana Biolchini, Tom Capobianco, Gabriel Castro, Bel Falleiros, Linda King Ferguson, Peter Fulop, Will Hutnick, Sara Jimenez, Laura Lappi, Parker Manis, Karen Margolis, Anna Parisi, Diogo Pimentao, Brigitta Varadi
The exhibition is curated by Hayley Ferber, Anita Goes and Luciana Solano.

The Sculpture Park will be open to the public in the first week of March.Laura Lappi presents two wall sculptures, Umbra IX and Umbra X.The magnificent wall sculpture pieces explore the relationship between physical spaces, man-made structures, and the human mind – the psychogeography of places. By focusing on the environmental aspects of a place, Lappi brings up important discursive questions of how fine art can help us better understand the roots of our culture and contribute to solving the ecological crisis of our time. Umbra focuses on the deepest details found in dark shadows. The wall sculptures are abstracted segments of various architectural structures based on existing locations and places from Lappi’s memory.

With both honor and continued heartbreak, Eli Klein Gallery presents with her voice, penetrate earth’s floor, a group exhibition in memory of Christina Yuna Lee, curated by stephanie mei huang.

“Hollow depression interred invalid to resurgence, resistant to memory. Waits. Apel, Appellation. Excavation. Let the one who is diseuse. Diseuse de bonne aventure. Let her call forth. Let her break open the spell cast upon time upon time again and again. With her voice, penetrate earth’s floor, the walls of Tartarus to circle and scratch the bowls’ surface. Let the sound enter from without, the bowl’s hollow its sleep. Until.”
