Roberto Juarez will be taking over La MaMa Galleria for a month during which he will set up his studio and make new work. The space itself is the site of his first NYC studio in 1981. Ellen Stewart allowed him to paint his first one man show in the studio for free.
Visitors will be invited to participate in an ongoing discussion and studio visit with the artist, breaking the passivity of the spectator and exploring the division between the realm of memory and the realm of experience, drawing on the past but situated in the present. Since 1981, Roberto has been active with solo & group, exhibitions, public artworks including: murals for public buildings, courthouses, and schools along with printmaking and guest teaching. The exhibition will draw upon his diverse combination of art making experiences into an open forum via studio visits and daily video posts.
At the end of the exhibition there will be a closing reception for a show of new paintings and a time based video piece that will be edited and available to view.
