Alfredo Jaar: You and Me and the Others
Details
For this meetup, we will check out an exhibition that showcases works by Alfredo Jaar.
"Born in Santiago, Chile in 1956, Alfredo Jaar studied architecture and filmmaking before moving to the United States in 1982. He has since been based in New York, working as an internationally active artist. He gained attention in the 1980s through his public interventions in New York City (Rushes, 1986, and A Logo for America, 1987). He became the first artist from Latin America invited to both the Venice Biennale in 1986 and Documenta in 1987. He is known for works grounded in a sensitive perspective and earnest investigation into social imbalances and geopolitical events occurring around the world. His work spans diverse media including photography, video, and architectural-scale works, characterised by physically engaging installations." [from the museum site]
