BOSTON, MA.- The School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (SMFA), is proud to present Americas Paradise and Isla Del Encanto: Contemporary Art from the American Caribbean, on view from September 18October 13, 2007. It showcases current work by twelve artists from the U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico who are actively engaged in a serious, often angst-filled conversation about the myth of paradise and attempts to reclaim innocence. Ecological concerns, issues of identity, migration, and the complex relationship with the mainland United States are among the topics that inform their work.
Included in the exhibition are paintings and work on paper by Monica Marin, Elsa Maria Melendez, Shansi Miller, Maud Pierre-Charles, and Rafael Trelles; sculptures by Luca Gasperi; an intervention piece by LaVaughn Belle; installations by Edgar Endress and Erik Pedersen; video documentation of installations by Mike Walsh; a video by Quintín Rivera-Toro; and a documentary film by Johanna Bermúdez Ruíz.
