Here are almost a dozen exhibitions and events to check out in the coming week: Lezley Saar, “A Conjuring of Conjurers,” at Walter Maciel Gallery. Inspired by a 19th century French novel about a character who builds a fortress devoted to the worship of the senses and arts, Saar has created a series of invented mystic characters with supernatural powers.

    Breaching Walls (Real and Imaginary): Arte Hispano-Americano [Latin American Art], 1000 C.E. to 2017 C.E. A Guide to the Exhibition by Noel Dorsey Vernon A STUDENT EXHIBITION GUIDE FOR EDUCATIONAL USE ONLY -- 11/12/17 (NDV) Author's Note This guide supports the art exhibition “Breaching Walls (Real and Imaginary)” held at Skyline Community College in November 2017, celebrating Latino Heritage Month. Many thanks to the administration and faculty of Skyline College for hosting and supporting it. Many thanks also to Arthur Takayama, Lorenzo Hernández and Cristina Hernández for organizing this exhibition. I am indebted to all of them for agreeing that a gallery guide might be of use and permitting me to author it. Thanks also to Professor Carlos Ugalde for taking the time to author "Comments on Art by Professor Carlos Ugalde for Lorenzo Hernández " which is included in this Exhibition Guide. My own background in Mexican and Hispano-American history is far less than was necessary to take on this project, so I spent a lot of time reading, looking at art, listening and asking questions. I had studied the history of Mexico many years ago in Guanajuato, Mexico, although my greatest interest was in Mexico's Pre-Columbian urban heritage. As a professor and Associate Dean of Environmental Design (now a Professor Emerita) in the CSU system, I was able to incorporate some this information into my landscape architecture history courses. I also am aware that much that has been written in English about Mexican art history was written by non-Mexicans. This has resulted in the misunderstanding that Mexican art history has been driven almost entirely by Western European art movements, styles and artists.

His work has been shown in most galleries in Mexico City as well as in the United States, France, Argentina, Puerto Rico and Bolivia. Abel’s paintings have been seen in collective exhibitions alongside masters such as David Alfaro Siqueiros, José Clemente Orozco, Raúl Anguiano, Francisco Toledo, Feliciano Béjar or José Luis Cuevas. His work also features in private collections in Germany, Brazil, Italy, Spain, Japan, and Poland. Abel has been recognized as a member of the Mexican Plastic Arts Salon, where he has exhibited his work throughout the years. He is also a member of ARTAC, UNESCO’s International Association of Art. Alfonso Martí Alfonso Marti, an architect by training, was born in Guadalajara (Mexico) in 1973. From a very young age Alfonso felt attracted to the arts and, years later, he would choose this path: he studied both music and painting in Rome and Paris In France he had an exceptional start to his painting career when the Mayor of Paris inaugurated his first solo show, and pop singer and former Dali muse Amanda Lear became one of his collectors. Nowadays Alfonso lives in San Miguel de Allende (Mexico). His work has been shown in solo and collective exhibitions in Mexico, Miami, Rome and Paris. Through his art Alfonso seeks to reconcile age-old techniques used by classical painters with contemporary visual synthesis, while seeking to erase the line between art and life.

MoMA’s Reopening For New York, the signal event of the year was October’s reopening of the Museum of Modern Art with its newly expanded, improved building and more inclusive, historically accurate permanent collection hang, which fleshes out the epic of Modernism with works by women, artists of color and non-Westerners. There are more creature comforts: lots of chairs by Jean Prouvé and sofas by Charlotte Perriand in the lobby, for example. And for the occasion, all other exhibitions on view were also drawn from the permanent collection, with the latest show from the “Artist’s Choice” series being especially notable.

One of the main ins- pirations for the collection is the Mexican renown architect Luis Barragan, who’s formal aesthetics and usage of colour stands out. In a two-dimensional canvas, “Corner” pieces seek for a three-dimensional sense through a simple gesture.
