SUMMARY:Cross Currents / Intercambio Cultural
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition explores how issues of Latin American and Latinx identity and place are manifest in the practices of artists working in Chicago and Havana at a moment of social change and strained political relations between the United States and Cuba. \nCross Currents is the result of an artist exchange organized by the National Museum of Mexican Art. Six Chicago-based artists visited Havana in spring 2017 and six Cuban artists visited Chicago in fall 2017 and summer 2018. The work on view reflects the artists’ experiences and observations as they interacted with each other\, curators\, cultural spaces\, and neighborhoods during their trips. The project aims to open pathways of communication and understanding between the two cities and peer artists while also reflecting on their own artistic practices at this moment in time. \n\nARTISTS\nBased in Chicago: \n\nAlberto Aguilar (b. 1974\, Chicago)\nCarlos Barberena (b. 1972\, Nicaragua)\nDianna Frid (b. 1967\, Mexico City)\nRodrigo Lara Zendejas (b. 1981\, Toluca\, Mexico)\nHarold Mendez (b. 1977\, Chicago)\nEdra Soto (b. 1971\, San Juan\, Puerto Rico)\n\nBased in Havana: \n\nHumberto Díaz (b. 1975\, Cuba)\nSusana Pilar Delahante Matienzo (b. 1984\, Cuba)\nDouglas Pérez Castro (b. 1972\, Cuba)\nAlejandro González (b. 1974\, Cuba)\nCelia Irina González Álvarez (b. 1985\, Cuba) and Yunior Aguiar Perdomo (b. 1984\, Cuba)\nRequer (Renier Quer Figueredo\, b. 1983\, Cuba)\n\n\nTOUR\nA version of the exhibition will travel to El Centro de Desarrollo de las Artes Visuales\, Havana\, Cuba in January 2020.

SUMMARY:Tara Donovan: Fieldwork
DESCRIPTION:Fieldwork celebrates American artist Tara Donovan’s distinctive practice that transforms mundane materials like plastic straws\, index cards\, rubber bands\, Slinkys\, and Mylar into elaborate\, mind-bending objects evocative of the natural world. \nDonovan manipulates a material over and over again\, to see what it is capable of becoming\, where it might lead\, and how it migrates from an object of practical use to something surreal or sublime. In some instances\, she reworks a material into both two-dimensional and three-dimensional forms\, engaging with space and light in nuanced and unexpected ways. \nOrganized by the Museum of Contemporary Art Denver\, this exhibition presents\, for the first time\, wall-based and freestanding objects together\, demonstrating how fully the artist reimagines everyday materials. Taken together\, the works in this exhibition demonstrate how order and structure give way to unpredictability and how the mundane cedes to the marvelous. \nTara Donovan was born in 1969 in New York City\, where she currently lives and works. \nTara Donovan: Fieldwork is organized by the Museum of Contemporary Art Denver and curated by Nora Burnett Abrams\, Ellen Bruss Curator and Director of Planning at MCA Denver. The Smart Museum’s presentation is overseen by Alison Gass\, Dana Feitler Director\, and Jennifer Carty\, Associate Curator of Modern & Contemporary Art.
