Visual Arts
The (S) Files @ NYRP
DUE TO RAIN, THIS EVENT, ORGINALLY SCHEDULED FOR WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 7 HAS NOW BEEN RESCHEDULED FOR MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 12.
This series of performances and temporary, site-specific installations draws from our exhibition, El Museo's Bienal: The (S) Files 2011. Capturing the unique energy of innovative contemporary Latino and Latin American artists based in the greater New York area, this exhibition reinforces the museum's commitment to emerging artists. By fostering an inclusive, ever-broadening group of artist-stakeholders, El Museo expands the definition of contemporary art and nurtures development of groundbreaking work. This outdoor series features three performances and temporary installations set in Community Gardens in East Harlem and the South Bronx.
At this presentation, COCO144, an originator of the NYC graffiti movement and founding member of United Graffiti Artists will create a temporary, site-specific work using natural objects from the landscape found in the garden.
