The El Paso Museum of Art (EPMA) and the Museo de Arte Ciudad Juarez (INBA) announce Art Binational – 2008 – Binacional de Arte, the first binational juried exhibition which will be hosted by EPMA and INBA from June 8 though August 24, 2008 . Two artworks by each selected artist will be included in this exhibition. One artwork will be exhibited at EPMA and the other will be exhibited at INBA. This exhibition was curated by Christian Gerstheimer, EPMA Curator and Katherine Smith, EPMA Assistant Curator.
The exhibition will be juried by Ruth Fine and Luis-Martin Lozano.
Ruth Fine is Curator of Special Projects in Modern Art at the National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC. Fine is the lead author of Mark Rothko: The Works on Paper, a multi-volume catalogue raisonné projected for publication by the National Gallery in 2010. As the curator of modern prints and drawings at the National Gallery from 1988 through 2002, Fine organized exhibitions of work by American artists including Helen Frankenthaler, Jasper Johns, Roy Lichtenstein, John Marin, and Georgia O’Keeffe.
Luis-Martin Lozano is an Art Historian based in Mexico City. Lozano has written extensively about Mexican Modernism, focused on the work of Diego Rivera, Frida Kahlo, María Izquierdo and Remedios Varo among other Mexican masters of the 20th Century. A Fulbright scholar, Professor Lozano has been guest curator for all major museums in Mexico, and worked on projects with fine art museums in the U.S., Spain, Germany, Japan, Canada, Italy and recently China.
The purpose of this juried exhibition is to bring together artists and their art from a defined circular region along the US – Mexico Border with El Paso, Texas and Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua in the center, Tucson, Arizona in the west, Santa Fe, New Mexico in the north, Midland/Odessa, Texas in the east, and Chihuahua City in the south. The museums want to examine what ideas, styles, and themes are being shared, and to identify if there is, indeed, a unique style emerging from this area.
Please join us Thursday, June 12, 2008 at the El Paso Museum of Art for a reception from 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm. Jurors Ruth Fine and Luis- Martin Lozano will be present and will provide comments on the exhibition.
Join us again on Friday, June 13, 2008 at the Museo de Arte Ciudad Juarez for a reception from 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm.
On Wednesdays from June 18 – August 20, 2008 at 12:15 pm EPMA will be offering Artists on Art, a forum that will give some of the featured artists an opportunity to discuss their work in the Art Binational 2008 Exhibition. Spanish/English translation will be provided.
