Artist English Alberto Oderiz (Navarre, 1983) albertoderiz.com @alberto_oderiz Studied Architecture at ETSA in Barcelona and a Master’s degree at the UNAM. He’s been living in Spain and Mexico for the past ten years. He has recently been working under “La Inexplicable Roca” theme, using archeology’s methods to explore different events of the present which, due to their tragically rebellious nature or Oderiz uses local materials and social resources, opening up his projects to participation and appropriation that may emerge throughout his processes. “La Inexplicable Roca” is an exploration on our capacity to make symbols out of matter. Sculpture, collage, and photography ope- rate as tools to transform a rock into the moon, a piece of wire into a cloud or a series of gold bullions into a mountain.

From cinema- tography to the pictoric realm, Borja has taken advantage of every tool available in order to express his creativity. His career as an artist began recently, during his stay in Mexico City, where As part of a collection based on the reduction of architectural space, “Y Corner” and “B Corner” portray both an essential and inevitable element in architecture: corners. 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. The artwork of this young artist uses colour as a transitory element towards capturing light and depth.

To get to these results, she went through an arduous learning and research process, movement for the spectator through a multiplicity of colours and light.

Some of his works are at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the National Art Museum in Poland, the Museo de Arte Moderno de Mexico and Casa de las Americas in Cuba. He wanders upon traditional pictorial values, which are then taken to the brink of breaking, which he then uses to turn into “anti-values”. His use of colour without texture, placed in deep contrasts, places him among the gutters of traditional art. His main mediums are sculpture, drawing and graphics.

    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.

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.
