Beyond the Supersquare

The exhibition features films by Catalan artist Jordi Colomer alongside works by 25 contemporary artists responding to the remnants of Modernism in Latin America.
Beyond the Supersquare explores the indelible influence of Latin American and Caribbean modernist architecture on contemporary art. The exhibition features 30 artists and more than 60 artworks, including photography, video, sculpture, installation, and drawing, that respond to major Modernist architectural projects constructed in Latin America and the Caribbean from the 1920s through the 1960s. The exhibition examines the complicated legacies of modernism through architecture and thought —as embodied by the political, economic, environmental, and social challenges faced by countries throughout Latin America— through the unique perspective of artists working today.
