artists who have carried out their projects in this centre for artistic

and highlights the variety of the modes, techniques, forms, themes,
etc. used by the artists who have given shape to their creative
projects in the Centre over these years.
The result is a show of the immense plurality of the creations that

Through February 28th
1230 Fifth Avenue (at 104th Street)
New York NY 10029
Nexus: New York: Latin/American Artists in the Modern Metropolis,
explores the interactions between U.S.-born, Caribbean, and Latin
American artists working in New York in the early twentieth century,
who together fomented many of that era’s most important avant-garde art
movements. Conceived by Julián Zugazagoitia, Director of El Museo and
curated by Deborah Cullen, Director of Curatorial Programs, Nexus: New
York is the first exhibition to explore the profound way these artistic
exchanges between Latino and non-Latino artists deeply impacted art and
art movements in this city and numerous countries for years to come.
The exhibition is also deeply representative of El Museo’s mission to
produce new scholarship on the significant yet sometimes overlooked
contributions made by Latino, Caribbean, and Latin American artists.

Gabriel Orozco
Through February 28th
W 53rd St
New York, NY 10019
With a body of work that is unique in its formal power and intellectual
rigor, Gabriel Orozco (Mexican, b. 1962) emerged at the beginning of
the 1990s as one of the most intriguing and original artists of his
generationÑand one of the last to come of age in the twentieth century.
Orozco resists confinement to a single medium, roaming freely and
fluently among drawing, photography, sculpture, installation, and
painting. From one project to the next, he deliberately blurs the
boundaries between the art object and the everyday environment, instead
situating his contributions in a place that merges "art" and "reality,"
whether in exquisite drawings made on airplane boarding passes or in
sculptures made from recovered trash.- The Moma
