The Americas Society is pleased to present Pictures of You, an exhibition with work by Iñaki Bonillas, Minerva Cuevas, Mario García-Torres, and Yoshua Okon. Pictures of You brings together work that calls attention to looking, expectation, and observation. The work included in this exhibition employs and captures intrinsic sensorial and structural qualities of the pictorial. Rather than presenting a set of pictures, the works drawn for Pictures of You can be seen as artistic propositions that underline the significance and potential of imagination.
During the exhibition opening, María Alós will perform Image Registry, the first of a series of performances that will take place throughout 2002 in selected receptions and events at The Americas Society. A small publication, titled Pictures of You and designed by -1:0:1, will accompany the exhibition.
Pictures of You is made possible with the support of La Colección Jumex; Ambassador Eduardo Ramos-Gómez; and Thacher Proffit and Wood. Additional support provided by The Mexican Cultural Institute of New York; Putumayo World Music; and Putumayo Foundation Cross-Cultural Initiatives. Equipment provided by the New Museum of Contemporary Art, New York.
