Quisqueya Henríquez: The World Outside— A Survey Exhibition 1991-2007
About the Exhibition:
Quisqueya Henríquez: The World Outside—A Survey Exhibition 1991-2007 presented the first museum survey of Henríquez’s work in the United States. This exhibit featured 20 installations, collages, photographs, videos, and light/sound works spanning the last two decades of the artist’s career.
A fully illustrated catalogue accompanies the exhibition with essays by Amy Rosenblum-Martín and guest essayist Monica de la Torre.
After closing at The Bronx Museum, the exhibition traveled to the Miami Art Museum.
About the Artist:
Quisqueya Henríquez, a Cuban-born, Dominican Republic-based artist, is known for concept-driven works that attempt to shorten the cultural and psychological distances between the Caribbean and the “outside world,” often through sensory experience and viewer participation. With a sharp sense of humor and an acute sensitivity to the struggles and ironies of everyday life, Henríquez breaks down the barriers between experimental art and popular culture.
