Paraisos Indomitos/Untamed Paradises

I’ll be in Spain in March for this show,curated by Virginia Torrente.
It will happen at MARCO, Museo de Arte Contemporánea de Vigo and at CAAC, Centro Andaluz de Arte Contemporáneo in Sevilla.

From the release: “The exhibition departs from the fascination that produces the last border places, where nature has its own rules. These are spaces of resistance, the last untamed paradises. The exhibition shows an almost Utopian romanticism, based in Henry D. Thoreau’s experience, as well as the project is also focused on conflicts provoked by the intervention of human being in nature.”

Artists:
ALBERTO BARAYA, GUILLEM BAYO, SERGIO BELINCHÓN, ROBERTO BELLINI, ANDRÉ CEPEDA, PETER COFFIN, THOMAS JOSHUA COOPER, NIR EVRON, CYPRIEN GAILLARD, RODNEY GRAHAM, MARINE HUGONNIER, EVA KOCH, MIREYA MASÓ, HEATHER & IVAN MORISON, MARJETICA POTR_, GONZALO PUCH, CAIO REISEWITZ, THIAGO ROCHA PITTA, ERIC ROSOMAN, GUIDO VAN DER WERVE.

This Land Is Your Land

Landscape Theory will be in a show at the Museum of Contemporary Photography in Chicago, from February 1 to March 22, 2008.

From the release:

Chicago–– In February 2008, the MoCP will open a group exhibition of work by seven artists—two of whom are American, and five of whom are not—offering diverse perceptions of the United States. Their artwork touches upon some of the most current American concerns as well as some of its most enduring stereotypes. They use current events, personal observations, and often humor to comment on the political, religious, and cultural climate of this country. In their work they demonstrate that our nation’s character is not tribal, but rather it is a constantly shifting confluence of traditions, stereotypes, and opinions, as understood from both within the country and from the outside. MoCP curator Karen Irvine titled the show after Woody Guthrie’s 1940 song, written in response to what he felt was the overzealous glorification of the country in the lyrics of Irving Berlin’s song “God Bless America,” widely released in 1938. Guthrie was reacting to what he believed was a disconnect between the exalted adoration of the country in Berlin’s song and the reality of social problems such as the extremely unbalanced distribution of wealth that existed at the end of the Great Depression.

Sixty-seven years later, “This Land is Your Land” has become one of the most popular patriotic songs of all time. But what seems to be patriotic, even positive, on the surface is not always what it seems, and the works in this exhibition reflect the polarizing issues our nation faces today: the complicated and messy War on Terror, as well as battles over immigration, security, abortion, and economics. However, Irvine says that “perhaps these fissures are indicators of patriotism in its higher form – the questioning of one’s country in a desire to make it better.”
