Julieta Aranda, Carlos Motta with David Sanin Paz (horticulture), Judi Werthein, and Carla Zaccagnini
The exhibition features a series of new artist commissions by Julieta Aranda, Carlos Motta with David Sanin Paz (horticulture), Judi Werthein, and Carla Zaccagnini. The aim of this initiative is to create a public showcase, which fosters an increased understanding of and appreciation for the diverse cultural heritage of the Americas through a public art exhibition that speaks to the importance of inter-American relationships. Exploring an interest in communication, the four artists create work that utilize language, text, and iconic emblems, which create reference points for these narratives, and will stimulate visitors to explore many points of interest and engage in a continued discussion. Additionally, 2010 marks several important anniversaries in the struggle for Argentine, Chilean, Colombian, and Mexican independence. Organized by LMCC Curator Adam Kleinman.
