The central exhibition of the 2015 Biennial of the Americas, will create a surprising, dynamic experience, capturing the atmosphere of life in the Western Hemisphere today. The artists in the exhibition reflect the complexity of our time – its pervasive technologies, its emergent forms of creativity and social and political engagement, its ever-changing conceptions of identity, and its interdependent, shifting economies. The exhibition will raise important questions about the relationships between North, South and Central America and the Caribbean, highlighting hot-button issues and events, like recent protests in the US, political reforms in Mexico and the changing relations between the US and Cuba. Alive with images and sounds, the exhibition will be a compressed experience of our time.

El artista puertorriqueño  Carlos Betancourt  aprendió desde temprano a construir utopías.

Se inventó su propio mundo con objetos capaces de tocar los recuerdos. Sus padres fueron cómplices de esa creación al ponerle  en sus manos álbumes de fotos con los que fue dibujando un futuro mirando al pasado.

Since graffiti first began seeping into the fine art scene in the late 1970s in New York, the challenge of translating such a vivid and site-specific practice into an art object to sit within a white cube gallery has been of central concern to artists. 

Dia Art Foundation announced today that it has commissioned a new, site-specific work from artists Allora & Calzadilla to be presented to the public on September 21, 2015. The work, titled Puerto Rican Light (Cueva Vientos), is Dia's first commission outside the continental United States since Joseph Beuys's 7000 Eichen(7000 Oaks) in Kassel, Germany in 1982.

'Fault Lines' Opens at Gladstone Gallery

WALL STREET JOURNAL- SEPTEMBER 12,  2014

“They’re places that don’t exist,” says Gamaliel Rodriguez of the shadowy structures he renders in monochrome ballpoint, sharpie, and acrylic. “I just invented them, and kind of created my own world.” Rodriguez, who was born in Puerto Rico and now splits his time between the island and New York, approaches these works, from his recent “Figures” series, from an imaginative angle.

Immediately entrancing, Jennifer Allora and Guillermo Calzadilla’s Los Angeles debut at Redcat(through August 24) is an excellent introduction to the research-driven duo’s transdisciplinary alchemy.

Patricia Hernandez would like to sell you an island. Don't worry -- she's not another airhead celebrity realtor bidding for a Bravo TV contract. Her island is "virtual," named "Bit Key," and for sale only with the digital bitcoin currency.

This project will feature a collective reading group, taking as a starting point the tradition of reading aloud from the Tobacco Factories in the Caribbean.

One of the artists who moved me the most is Arnaldo Roche, who is, without any reservations, one of Puerto Rico’s most important living artists.  His studio, which is housed in a massive warehouse in the area of Carolina is impressive to say the least.

One of the greatest satisfactions of being a collector is buying a work by an artist before they’ve been discovered by the larger art market. Such was the case for those who were lucky enough to snag a painting by the 32-year-old Puerto Rican artist Angel Otero at Art Basel earlier this year.

Museo del Barrio

June 12- January 4, 2014

To follow the subtle spatial logic of El Museo del Barrio’s current exhibition, the seventh edition of a biennial formerly known as “The (S) Files,” one begins with a bombastic gold-leaf portrait of Ol’ Dirty Bastard, a founding member of the Wu-Tang Clan, and ends with an impressive pile of paint chips. Alex Nuñez’s ODB, 2012, creates a playful tension between fine art and popular culture, Byzantine icons and hip-hop bravura.
 

Hands-On Artist Arnaldo Roche on His Recent Blue Period - MODERN PAINTERS

To generate its heat, art in its making requires a measure of friction. It would seem that Arnaldo Roche, perhaps the preeminent artist of Puerto Rico since the 1980s, takes this dictum literally: He rubs his paintings into being, as one might rub a headstone or a façade.
