Overview
Americas Society invites you to a public tour on July 16th of the exhibition Geles Cabrera: Museo Escultórico led by Tie Jojima and Rachel Remick, two of the co-curators of the exhibition.
Geles Cabrera: Museo Escultórico explores the legacy of Mexican sculptor Geles Cabrera, presenting a selection of works created over 40 years of the artist’s career. The first solo show of Cabrera in the United States, this exhibition includes sculptures that reveal the artist’s interest in the human body and her experimentation with different materials alongside archival documentation of her artistic practice in Mexico City. Born in 1926, Cabrera occupies a unique place in the trajectory of Mexican art as one of the country's most prominent female sculptors. Situated between abstraction and figuration, her visionary sculptures offered new understandings of the human form.
Please RSVP for this event here.
The exhibition will be on display from June 8 to July 30, 2022. View gallery and visitors information.
This exhibition is curated by Aimé Iglesias Lukin, Tie Jojima, and Rachel Remick.
