Beschreibung:
"Informed by his background in theater and performance as well as his experiences as a child services case worker and professor, Osorio's richly textured sculptures and installations are deeply invested in political, social, and cultural issues affecting Latinx and working class communities in the United States. ...the exhibition will focus on the elaborate, large-scale multimedia environments that Osorio has been creating since the early 1990s, often developed through long-tern conversations and collaborations with individuals in the neighborhoods where they were first shown. ...the exhibition addresses themes that resonate throughout Osorio's practice, including the simultaneous resilience and fragility of human life, the values and desires that propel humanity, and the fundamental urgency to better care for one another."--from museum's website
