Quisqueya Henríquez
The World Outside: A Survey Exhibition 1991-2007

September 16, 2007- January 27, 2008
For the first major survey of Quisqueya Henríquez’s work in the United States, The Bronx Museum will present a selection of sculptures, installations, drawings, photographs, videos, and light/sound works spanning the last two decades of the artist’s career. The Cuban-Dominican multi-disciplinary artist uses a wide variety of genre and media to engage the viewer in reexamining issues related to the environment and its role in the production of cultural clichés. In works such as Helado de Agua de Mar Caribe (Caribbean Seawater Ice Cream) (2002), she humorously addresses the stereotype of the Caribbean as a “hot-blooded” individual. Through her work, Quisqueya Henríquez invokes the sights, sounds, tastes, and textures of the city—all the sensory experiences that make urban life chaotic and provocative.

Tropicália: A Revolution in Brazilian Culture

October 7, 2006 - January 28, 2007
Tropicália is the first comprehensive exhibition to explore one of the most significant chapters in modern cultural history, a period beginning in the late 1960s when daring experiments in Brazilian art, music, film, architecture and theater converged—and ignited. Although suppressed by an increasingly oppressive military dictatorship, the moment produced a counterculture that has influenced successive generations of artists, even up to the present day.

Javier Tellez in Collaboration with Patients of the Bronx Psychiatric Center

Becoming-Father/Becoming-Infant

July 23 – December 31, 2004
Becoming-Father/Becoming-Infant is a video exhibition that departs from the philosophers Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari's concept of "Becoming": how the process of becoming father involves becoming infant to some extent and vice versa. The exhibition also challenges gender clichés by presenting male perspectives on the traditionally female world of birth and child rearing. Artists include: Dennis Oppenheim, Nam June Paik and Shigeko Kubota, Alex Rivera, Bert Rodríguez, Tom Downs, Rudy Shepherd, Guy Ben-ner. Becoming-Father/Becoming-Infant is made possible in part by the generous in-kind support of the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Caspian Corporation.
