Video: Behind Silvia Gruner's Hemispheres

"Silvia Gruner is one of the most original voices in Latin America," says Americas Society's Chief Curator Gabriela Rangel. She says Gruner's work stands out "not only because her work is very powerful, but because she contributed to the creation of a very strong field of contemporary art."

Rangel invited the Mexican independent curator Tatiana Cuevas to choose pieces for the New York exhibition, which covers a selection of Gruner's work throughout time. The exhibition will take place in an expanded version from October 2016 to January 2017 at the Museo Amparo in Puebla, Mexico. Hemispheres: A Labyrinth Sketchbook by Silvia Gruner presents Gruner's new "Hemispheres" piece—a two-channel video installation filmed in the artist’s garden. The exhibition gathers a condensed selection of films and photographs from the 1980s through the present.
