Tent of Reams exhibited at Puertas Adentro Artes in Punta Del Este (Manantiales), Uruguay (December 2022 in person!)

In Fall 2022, I participated in my second round of a virtual residency at Mango (Rio) under the direction of the redoubtable Maria Mercedes Aliaga Pueyrredon (we call her Mechi) and a former colleague from Uruguay from my first Mango residency Maria Soldano who arranged the exhibition in Punta Del Este. These Mango residency exhibitions are a challenge since our roster of participations in the residency that engages artists as widely distributed as Abu Dhabi, Mexico, Argentina, Uruguay, Texas, NYC and Benares, India. In the first of my Mango residencies in Summer 2020, the group settled on theme of language as a common thread, this time, metamorphosis. Tent of Reams was created as the last work of the 2022 residency that lasted for six works and that culminated in an open studio. I kept the emphasis on language that resulted in pieces after the residencies such as Lee(Amerikkka) and added the indeterminacy of metamorphosis, thus transforming figures, settings, text etc. in a representation of an Occupy protest where an equestrian monument was mounted by protesters and draped with a ‘Tent of Reams’. Txs, Mechi and Maria and all those associated with Punta Del Este Artes and Punta Planos that printed a digital version of Tent of Reams. The exhibition is up until the end of 2022 and can be viewed on a variety of Inst sites.

Puffin Grant Awarded

Thank you to the fine folks at the social justice not for profit Puffin Foundation, who sent an award for the continuation of the Anna Pierrepont Series in November 2022. Receiving an award to continue my practice of investigating the afterlife of public monuments in this extraordinary moment of New American Iconoclasm is so encouraging!
