Thesis Exhibitions
Espejos Enterrados | Buried Mirrors, focuses on telenovelas, Latin American soap operas. These shows are the subject of works by a group of artists from Mexico and Venezuela, two countries that dominate the television industry in Latin America. The videos and photographs of Luis Molina-Pantin, Daniela Lovera and Juan Nascimento,Yoshua Okon, and Teresa Serrano restage or deconstruct the gender, class, race, and national stereotypes implicit in this regional form of melodrama. Espejos Enterrados examines popular culture through contemporary art practices and explores how subjectivities are formed and informed by televisual imagery.
The Patricia and Gustavo Cisneros Foundation has provided support for this exhibition.
