Juan Downey:  The Invisible Architect

GUEST CURATOR:  Valerie Smith

Organized in collaboration with the MIT List Visual Arts Center, Juan Downey: The Invisible Architect is the first U.S. survey of this pioneering video artist and brings together more than one hundred works, including drawings, artist's notebooks, paintings, video and photographic installations spanning from early experimental work with art and technology to the groundbreaking video installations from the 1970s through the 1990s.

Formally trained as an architect, Downey began experimenting with different art forms when he moved from Paris to Washington DC in 1965. He developed a strong interest in the concept of invisible energy and shifted from object-based artistic practice to an experiential approach, seeking to combine interactive performance with sculpture and video, a transition the exhibition explores. Downey quickly established himself as an avant-garde pioneer of video and technology art and for the next two decades began to explore invisible forms of energy and communication, describing himself as a "cultural communicant" and an "activating anthropologist."

Organized by the Bronx Museum of the Arts and the MIT List Visual Arts Center.

The exhibition was on view May 6 - July 11, 2011 at MIT List Visual Arts Center, Cambridge, MA and is currently on view at Arizona State University Art Museum, Tempe, AZ, until December 31, 2011.

Juan Downey:  The Invisible Architect

GUEST CURATOR:  Valerie Smith

Organized in collaboration with the MIT List Visual Arts Center, Juan Downey: The Invisible Architect is the first U.S. survey of this pioneering video artist and brings together more than one hundred works, including drawings, artist's notebooks, paintings, video and photographic installations spanning from early experimental work with art and technology to the groundbreaking video installations from the 1970s through the 1990s.

Formally trained as an architect, Downey began experimenting with different art forms when he moved from Paris to Washington DC in 1965. He developed a strong interest in the concept of invisible energy and shifted from object-based artistic practice to an experiential approach, seeking to combine interactive performance with sculpture and video, a transition the exhibition explores. Downey quickly established himself as an avant-garde pioneer of video and technology art and for the next two decades began to explore invisible forms of energy and communication, describing himself as a "cultural communicant" and an "activating anthropologist."

Organized by the Bronx Museum of the Arts and the MIT List Visual Arts Center.

The exhibition was on view May 6 - July 11, 2011 at MIT List Visual Arts Center, Cambridge, MA and is currently on view at Arizona State University Art Museum, Tempe, AZ, until December 31, 2011.

Stations of the Lost

A Mixed Media-Installation by Sean Paul Gallegos

Stations of the Lost explores the growing disconnect from traditional religious iconography and belief systems in modern culture.
Inspired by the biblical Stations of the Cross, Gallegos' 14 stations become interactive meditations on our obsessions with material goods and commercial icons. Sean Paul explores and unpacks how the 'traditional-sacred' is being replaced with kitsch, toys and profit icons—elevating them as objects of adoration and desire.

Stations of the Lost

A Mixed Media-Installation by Sean Paul Gallegos

Stations of the Lost explores the growing disconnect from traditional religious iconography and belief systems in modern culture.
Inspired by the biblical Stations of the Cross, Gallegos' 14 stations become interactive meditations on our obsessions with material goods and commercial icons. Sean Paul explores and unpacks how the 'traditional-sacred' is being replaced with kitsch, toys and profit icons—elevating them as objects of adoration and desire.

Juan Downey:  The Invisible Architect

GUEST CURATOR:  Valerie Smith

Organized in collaboration with the MIT List Visual Arts Center, Juan Downey: The Invisible Architect is the first U.S. survey of this pioneering video artist and brings together more than one hundred works, including drawings, artist's notebooks, paintings, video and photographic installations spanning from early experimental work with art and technology to the groundbreaking video installations from the 1970s through the 1990s.

Formally trained as an architect, Downey began experimenting with different art forms when he moved from Paris to Washington DC in 1965. He developed a strong interest in the concept of invisible energy and shifted from object-based artistic practice to an experiential approach, seeking to combine interactive performance with sculpture and video, a transition the exhibition explores. Downey quickly established himself as an avant-garde pioneer of video and technology art and for the next two decades began to explore invisible forms of energy and communication, describing himself as a "cultural communicant" and an "activating anthropologist."

Organized by the Bronx Museum of the Arts and the MIT List Visual Arts Center.

The exhibition was on view May 6 - July 11, 2011 at MIT List Visual Arts Center, Cambridge, MA and is currently on view at Arizona State University Art Museum, Tempe, AZ, until December 31, 2011.

Juan Downey:  The Invisible Architect

GUEST CURATOR:  Valerie Smith

Organized in collaboration with the MIT List Visual Arts Center, Juan Downey: The Invisible Architect is the first U.S. survey of this pioneering video artist and brings together more than one hundred works, including drawings, artist's notebooks, paintings, video and photographic installations spanning from early experimental work with art and technology to the groundbreaking video installations from the 1970s through the 1990s.

Formally trained as an architect, Downey began experimenting with different art forms when he moved from Paris to Washington DC in 1965. He developed a strong interest in the concept of invisible energy and shifted from object-based artistic practice to an experiential approach, seeking to combine interactive performance with sculpture and video, a transition the exhibition explores. Downey quickly established himself as an avant-garde pioneer of video and technology art and for the next two decades began to explore invisible forms of energy and communication, describing himself as a "cultural communicant" and an "activating anthropologist."

Organized by the Bronx Museum of the Arts and the MIT List Visual Arts Center.

The exhibition was on view May 6 - July 11, 2011 at MIT List Visual Arts Center, Cambridge, MA and is currently on view at Arizona State University Art Museum, Tempe, AZ, until December 31, 2011.

Stations of the Lost

A Mixed Media-Installation by Sean Paul Gallegos

Stations of the Lost explores the growing disconnect from traditional religious iconography and belief systems in modern culture.
Inspired by the biblical Stations of the Cross, Gallegos' 14 stations become interactive meditations on our obsessions with material goods and commercial icons. Sean Paul explores and unpacks how the 'traditional-sacred' is being replaced with kitsch, toys and profit icons—elevating them as objects of adoration and desire.

Longwood Arts Project has partnered with Curate NYC which exists to heighten exposure for New York City visual artists, and to promote the city's image as a cultural hub. In 2010, Curate NYC attracted 1,190 entries in three weeks. All entries were reviewed by a panel of judges, and the top 150 works were exhibited as museum-quality postcards at Rush Arts Gallery in Chelsea. The project website generated 600,000 hits in three weeks. In 2011, in addition to the postcard exhibition, guest curators will organize online shows, and five galleries, one per borough, will curate and exhibit their own shows of actual works by Curate NYC artists.

Juan Downey:  The Invisible Architect

GUEST CURATOR:  Valerie Smith

Organized in collaboration with the MIT List Visual Arts Center, Juan Downey: The Invisible Architect is the first U.S. survey of this pioneering video artist and brings together more than one hundred works, including drawings, artist's notebooks, paintings, video and photographic installations spanning from early experimental work with art and technology to the groundbreaking video installations from the 1970s through the 1990s.

Formally trained as an architect, Downey began experimenting with different art forms when he moved from Paris to Washington DC in 1965. He developed a strong interest in the concept of invisible energy and shifted from object-based artistic practice to an experiential approach, seeking to combine interactive performance with sculpture and video, a transition the exhibition explores. Downey quickly established himself as an avant-garde pioneer of video and technology art and for the next two decades began to explore invisible forms of energy and communication, describing himself as a "cultural communicant" and an "activating anthropologist."

Organized by the Bronx Museum of the Arts and the MIT List Visual Arts Center.

The exhibition was on view May 6 - July 11, 2011 at MIT List Visual Arts Center, Cambridge, MA and is currently on view at Arizona State University Art Museum, Tempe, AZ, until December 31, 2011.

Formally trained as an architect, Downey began experimenting with different art forms when he moved from Paris to Washington DC in 1965. He developed a strong interest in the concept of invisible energy and shifted from object-based artistic practice to an experiential approach, seeking to combine interactive performance with sculpture and video, a transition the exhibition explores. Downey quickly established himself as an avant-garde pioneer of video and technology art and for the next two decades began to explore invisible forms of energy and communication, describing himself as a "cultural communicant" and an "activating anthropologist."

Organized by the Bronx Museum of the Arts and the MIT List Visual Arts Center.

The exhibition was on view May 6 - July 11, 2011 at MIT List Visual Arts Center, Cambridge, MA and is currently on view at Arizona State University Art Museum, Tempe, AZ, until December 31, 2011.

Urban Archives:  Emilio Sanchez in the Bronx

This exhibition presents a group of works by Emilio Sanchez from The Bronx Museum of the Arts Permanent Collection, together with related archival material and a special interpretive project by Bronx-based artist Laura Napier. All the works depict commercial buildings in the Hunts Point area of the South Bronx. With a colorful palette and rigorous architectural design, these works depict the bodegas and auto shops of the Bronx in an almost idyllic style that makes a stark contrast with preconceived views of the borough.

Directions:  The Bronx Museum of the Arts is located at 1040 Grand Concourse at 165th Street in the Bronx. Take the B, C or 4 trains or Bx1, Bx2 buses to Grand Concourse and 165th Street.

Juan Downey:  The Invisible Architect

GUEST CURATOR:  Valerie Smith

Organized in collaboration with the MIT List Visual Arts Center, Juan Downey: The Invisible Architect is the first U.S. survey of this pioneering video artist and brings together more than one hundred works, including drawings, artist's notebooks, paintings, video and photographic installations spanning from early experimental work with art and technology to the groundbreaking video installations from the 1970s through the 1990s.

Formally trained as an architect, Downey began experimenting with different art forms when he moved from Paris to Washington DC in 1965. He developed a strong interest in the concept of invisible energy and shifted from object-based artistic practice to an experiential approach, seeking to combine interactive performance with sculpture and video, a transition the exhibition explores. Downey quickly established himself as an avant-garde pioneer of video and technology art and for the next two decades began to explore invisible forms of energy and communication, describing himself as a "cultural communicant" and an "activating anthropologist."

Organized by the Bronx Museum of the Arts and the MIT List Visual Arts Center.

The exhibition was on view May 6 - July 11, 2011 at MIT List Visual Arts Center, Cambridge, MA and is currently on view at Arizona State University Art Museum, Tempe, AZ, until December 31, 2011.
