"[This] modest but thorough roundup of works by [José Leonilson], made between the late eighties and 1993 is...charged with intense emotion".
La exposición en Americas Society muestra cómo “Leonilson buscó sus vericuetos y relatos entre los tejidos y las agujas...parte de una subversión de los géneros- que delimitaba su peculiar autobiografía quebradiza.”
“In a world of monumental and spectacular artworks, [Leonilson’s work] has the intimacy of discourse," highlighted AS Visual Arts Director and exhibition curator Gabriela Rangel.
"[The film is a] poetic and moving portrait; a unique introduction to the Americas Society exhibition, which moves chronologically backwards from the year Leonilson died."
José Leonilson: Empty Man is picked by ArtNews' editors as a "notable show." The exhibition is on view through February 3, 2018.
