Quisqueya Henríquez
The World Outside, A Survey Exhibition
1991 – 2007
The World Outside, the first major survey of this Cuban-Dominican artist’s work in the United States, provides a selection of 22 sculptures, installations, drawings, photographs, videos and light/sound works spanning the last two decades of the artist’s career. Henríquez has gained international recognition for her concept-driven art, which she uses to bridge the cultural and psychological distances between the Caribbean and the “outside world.”
The works on view exhibit how Henríquez employs her sharp sense of humor and sensitivity to the struggles and ironies of everyday life to break down the barriers between experimental art and popular culture. She photographs construction sites, historical buildings, monuments and beaches strewn with trash, emphasizing how these sights echo global economy, culture, politics, and climate.
