Diálogo 365 @ The Ice Box at Crane Arts
In celebration of its 5th anniversary, Casa de Venezuela hosts its second annual art exhibition. Diálogo 365 seeks to explore a visual dialogue that challenges our pre-established concepts of origin, belonging, migration, displacement, transformation, territory and boundaries related to Latin America; aiming to create a space for further thought on social and cultural understanding about this region. The media was extended to include video installation and sculpture; in addition to painting, drawing, photography, and mixed media.
Thirty nine visual artists living in the US, as well as in countries in Central America, South America and the Caribbean are represented in Diálogo 365: Adrian Abonce, Alejandra Villasmil, Alexis Duque, Alicia Meza, Alvaro Altamar, Amalfi Ramirez-Finnerty, Andria Bibiloni, Betsy Casañas, Blanca Gruber, Carlos Nuñez, Daniel de Jesus, David Hernandez, Diogenes Abreu, Doris Nogueira-Rogers, Emilio Arraiza, Erick Sánchez, Gina Echeverry, Giovanni Escala, Henry Bermudez, Isaias Amaro, Jorge Figueroa, Jose Guacache, Jose Guedez, Karim Marquez, Karla Blanchard, Luz Selenia Salas, Marta Sanchez, Maximiliano Medina, Michelle Ortiz, Morella Jurado, Nicky Enright, Rafael Aviles, Renzo Ortega, Romulo Peña, Roxana Perez-Mendez, Simón Bolívar, Susana Amundaraín, Tony Rocco and Vladimir Da’ costa.
Their work plays a distinct narrative in relation to the Diálogo 365 theme and the exhibit gives us an opportunity to see their works in a new context.
