EVOLVING IDENTITIES ::
Brazilian Artists in New York

Curator: Carole Perry
March 5 - April 27, 2006

"Evolving Identities - Brazilian Artists in New York," will feature artists Ana Linnemann, Thessia Machado, Vik Muniz, and Janaina Tschäpe, who all grew up primarily in Brazil and moved to New York as adults. Their work shows the influence of their Brazilian roots and reveals individual efforts to resolve the conflicts, or varied outlooks, inherent in their multi-cultural identities. While these artists' visions may have been shaped by Brazilian sensibilities, a whole new layer of meaning exists in their work as a result of their transitions to New York society.
