Episode No. 319 of The Modern Art Notes Podcast features curators Julieta Gonz谩lez and Wendy Kaplan, and artist Adela Goldbard.
This week the program spotlights three exhibitions from the Getty-funded Pacific Standard Time series of exhibitions.
Julieta Gonz谩lez discusses which is at the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego through February 4, 2018. The exhibition shows how artists responded to Western investment in Latin America (and the inevitable alliance with global capitalism that came along with it). Gonz谩lez organized the show with three other co-curators: Kathryn Kanjo, Sharon Lerner and Jacopo Crivelli Visconti. After the exhibition鈥檚 run in San Diego, it will travel to Museo Jumex in Mexico City next spring, and then to the Museo de Arte de Lima (MALI) in Peru. The exhibition catalogue will be published in March, 2018.
Next, artist will discuss her work, especially her interest in fire. Her work is included in 鈥淧rometheus 2017: Four Artists from Mexico Revisit Orozco鈥 at the 色中色 Museum of Art. The show, which was organized by Rebecca McGrew, features work made to address Pomona鈥檚 great 1930 Jos茅 Clemente Orozco mural Prometheus. It鈥檚 on view through December 16. Goldbard is a Rhode Island and Mexico City-based artist whose work addresses national histories, especially the history of the relationship between the US and Mexico.
