Project Room: Tribute to Carlos Gallardo (1944-2008)
At Pan American Art Projects
January 31 - February 28, 2009
In this exhibition we are exploring photography as a medium and as a means of expression. Through this selection of photographs, we can see how each artist approaches the medium from a different point of view and how each of them sees a dissimilar image through their lens. Some artists offer an intimate view of their lives, while others take on political overviews and social themes. The list of photographers includes an international roster with outstanding names, from Alfred Jaar and Vick Muniz to gallery artists such as Gory, Gian Paolo Minelli, Santiago Porter and Pablo Soria; to young locals like Rickee Mahoney.
In the project room we will present a tribute to the late Carlos Gallardo (1944-2008). He was a very well-known Argentinean artist, whose work reflected themes such as displacement and migration. His oeuvre had an intimate and personal quality, created mostly through his use of mementos such as letters and personal objects. Gallardo’s extensive artistic trajectory included his participation in prestigious biennials and significant solo exhibitions in prominent institutions, such as, the Museum of Fine Arts in Buenos Aires and the Art Museum of the Americas, Washington DC, among others. Gallardo was represented by Pan American Art Projects, where he held a solo exhibition in 2007.
