Emilio Chapela: Man is the Measure
The work of artist Emilio Chapela might come off as esoteric but really his show is just about limits, boundaries and borders. How do we as humans perceive borders and how does that manifest politically, culturally and physically? One of his works ‘La Mojonera’ is a reconstruction of the landmarks used to demarcate national boundaries after the 1848 Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo was signed by Mexico and the U.S. Chapela lives and works in Mexico City but his show at Henrique Faria will be up til May 10th.


Vik Muniz: Album
Brazilian artist Vik Muniz has an exhibition at Sikkema Jenkins that makes large scale images out of an assemblage of vintage photographs and images collected over the years. The exhibit is a commentary on the perpetuity and waning worth of the image. Exhibit opens Thursday, April 10th until May 10th. Enjoy!
