Documenting Memory
Rodrigo Dada | Abigail Reyes | Crack Rodriguez
Curated by Lucas Arévalo
Opening Reception: Wednesday, September 30 | 7-10pm
On View September 30 – November 8, 2015
Documenting Memory explores how artists living and working in El Salvador deal with retaining memory and commemorating loss from personal experiences that have been intertwined with the weight of social, collective and traditional impressions. Including video, photographs and installation by three of the country´s most renowned mid-career artists, this exhibition additionally integrates forms of documenting remembrances that speak of the dynamic and shifting landscape of memory.

Inventory / Inventario by Walterio Iraheta
In partnership with Fountainhead Residency
Opening Reception: Wednesday, September 30 | 7-10pm
On View September 30 – November 8, 2015
Inventory / Inventario comprises 300 individual images of product bottles and domestic objects including shoes, toys, tools, clothing and more, caringly photographed as if each were a portrait. An image reads as a personal narrative inviting close inspection, so that the shape of an object, its color, texture, size and capacity is amplified. As such, Inventory / Inventario is both a document revealing a magnitude of memories—personal memories and memories of social and cultural moments—and a metaphor for certain loss.

dialogicCENTRALsolutions is a platform comprised of a symposium on contemporary art practice in the region titled Central What? Central America!; an editorial series featuring essays from scholars and artists, and an exhibition and performance by Guatemalan artist Regina José Galindo. Whether through the lens of architecture, art, cultural industries, history or literature, dialogicCENTRALsolutions focuses on discussing new approaches on thinking about Central America. In the framework of these discussions, Galindo will produce a large-scale solo exhibition that will transform ArtCenter’s new temporary space in the Little River neighborhood of Miami into a muddy morass on top of which the specific conditions of the region will be discussed.
