DIALOGOS: ANA MENDIETA
Stand DLG10
May 2 – 5, 2019
In celebration of El Museo del Barrio’s 50th anniversary, Patrick Charpenel (Executive Director, El Museo del Barrio) and Susanna V. Temkin (Curator, El Museo del Barrio) present a themed section focusing on art by contemporary Latinx and Latin American artists.
Born in Havana, Ana Mendieta was sent to the United States as a child to escape political turmoil following the Cuban Revolution. Throughout her career, Mendieta expressed feeling “torn” from her homeland. Memories of this displacement, along with a deep yearning for belonging, form the overarching themes of the works on view in the booth as well as in her practice more broadly. The featured film and photographs were made during Mendieta’s examinations of adopted and original homelands that held personal significance: Burial Pyramid (1974) in Mexico, Volcán (1979) in Iowa, and selections from the Esculturas Rupestres series (1981) in Cuba.
