Opening Friday, March 20, 6-9pm
Curated by Fernando Salicrup and Christine Licata
With Guest Curators: Barbara Bullard-Leacock (Al Johnson Art Inc.) and Taina Traverso
The Taller Boricua presents PULSE: a group exhibition of 14 contemporary New York artists of African American and Afro-Caribbean decent whose work pulses with both aesthetic energy and the diverse cultures that flow through them.
Corporeal to conceptual, a single pulse can signify many things from a steadfast heart to the reason for it to keep on beating. It is the inspirational jolt that quickens intellect and brings clarity and innovation. As a vibration of keen perception and insightful perspectives, a pulse is the tangible influences, sentiments and life of a people and a culture.
The artists in PULSE explore these collective dialogues and critical reflections through various mediums: painting, sculpture, mixed-media, installation and video. Provocative on emotional, sensory and socio-political levels, their work gets the blood pumping and the mind buzzing.
Participating artists:
Anton, Robert Daniels, Al Johnson, Lawrence Joyner, Jayson Keeling, Ibn Kendall, Simone Leigh, Shawna Mills, Rashaad Newsome, Nobody, Dionis Ortiz, Diane Pryor Holland, David Shrobe and Saya Woolfalk
