State of The Art is Remezcla’s weekly guide to Latin art openings in your city each week. Mingle with art admirers, collectors and casual passersby to check out these new works. And don’t forget to grab a free glass of wine…or three.
You Are Here
‘You Are Here’, an exhibit inspired by migrants from all over the world, is closing this Friday, May 9th, and you should absolutely go see it. Six artists created an environment that together comments on the state of affairs regarding migration. Mexican director and sound artist Edgar Farfan composed soundscapes to accompany the murals, paintings, collages, photographs, and sculptures in the show. One of the pieces is an inverted map of the region south of the U.S.-Mexico border personified with a screaming cartoon by Sergio Coyote. The mediums are varied and there’s also an installation video combination. It’s a great show with lots of diverse material, and it ends Friday so make the trip to Bushwick before the show comes down.

Perpetual Binary by Katherine Emely Gómez
Perpetual Binary is a photography exhibit with new work by Katherine Emely Gomez who recently lost her twin sister to an epileptic seizure during her sleep. Her sister Emely was only 23 years old. The photos are Katherine’s expression of a reinvention of self and exploration of life after her sister’s untimely death. The reception will be this Saturday, May 10th from 6 to 9pm at Chashama in the Bronx.
Yvonne Estrada
A select group of large scale cellular plant-like abstract compositions by Colombian artist Yvonne Estrada will be on view at Jason McCoy Gallery. Dreamy watercolors and abstract biomorphic forms are layered as if created digitally, but these works are made strictly by hand. Attend the reception this Wednesday May 7th from 6 to 8pm, grab a drink and enjoy the art.
