Nexus New York: Latin/American Artists in the Modern Metropolis

"The blockbuster exhibition that celebrates the reopening of El Museo del Barrio after 17 months of renovations makes a persuasive case for curator Deborah Cullen's argument that because 'life is messy' and 'artists do not work in vacuums' there are rewarding surprises to be found once we move beyond 'the later imposition of curatorial and canonical parameters that attempt to order the chaos of history.' Despite its venue, Nexus New York: Latin/American Artists in the Modern Metropolis isn't an exercise in Latino flag-waving; instead it celebrates the interdependence of artists and a sense of community that today's celebrity-artist world generally tends to ignore."
