Gagosian Quarterly

Gagosian Quarterly

Latinx artists’ incisive and diverse contributions to contemporary American art deserve our devoted attention. These innovative and often invisible practitioners extend and expand upon a rich history of Latinx art in the United States—which includes the oeuvres of Jean-Michel Basquiat, Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Carmen Herrera, and Ana Mendieta. With Latinxs now accounting for more than half of the United States’ population growth, and as US art and academic institutions respond to calls for the representation of BIPOC artists in exhibitions, collections, publications, and dialogues, it seems that public awareness around Latinx art—including the ways in which Latinx artists are currently reshaping the cultural landscape—is increasing significantly. Notably, through their dynamic and often collaborative explorations of art history, race, socioeconomics, immigration, pop culture, and craft, among many other topics, contemporary Latinx artists are debunking purist myths; rewriting narratives around Latinidad; and carving out new, accessible, antiracist spaces for art making and viewing. Indeed, it would seem that the historic marginalization of Latinxs has added an inimitable depth of perspective to these artists’ work.

COLONIAL ECHO: A PHOTOBOOK CASE STUDY

On October 22, 2020, Aurora PhotoCenter moderated an online discussion about the making of Colonial Echo, by Rachelle Mozman Solano, published September 2020 by Kris Graves Projects. From creative choices to economic necessities, Mozman Solano and Graves spoke about about all stages of the project’s development, from initial idea to final publication, plus all the extra challenges inherent in publishing a book during a global pandemic.

The monograph Colonial Echo brings together two of Mozman’s related bodies of work, Casa de Mujeres and La Negra, as well as interviews. The work is based on her family biography, with Casa de Mujeres focusing on the experience and impact of colonialism in Panama, and La Negra addressing the time when her family migrated first to the American south, and then to New York City in the mid 1960s. Starting often from her biography and family history, Mozman explores how culture shapes individuals and how environment conditions behavior. Her work is concerned with the intersection of mythology, history, economics, and the psyche through photographs and films that confound fact and fictional narrative.

Join Aurora for an online discussion about the making of Colonial Echo by Rachelle Mozman Solano, published September 2020 by Kris Graves Projects. From creative choices to economic necessities, Mozman Solano and Graves will talk about all stages of the project’s development from initial idea to final publication.
