SUMMARY:Virtual | Marcela Guerrero & Daisy Nam on Donna Huanca's exhibition at Ballroom Marfa
DESCRIPTION:9am PT / 10am MT / 11am CT / 12pm ET\nPlease join Marcela Guerrero\, Jennifer Rubio Associate Curator at the Whitney Museum of American Art\, and Daisy Nam\, Curator at Ballroom Marfa\, for a discussion on Donna Huanca’s exhibition ESPEJO QUEMADA\, on view at Ballroom Marfa through January 22\, 2022. The two will also discuss Guerrero’s work on influential recent exhibitions of contemporary art from Latin America\, including the exhibitions Pacha\, Llaqta\, Wasichay: Indigenous Space\, Modern Architecture\, New Art at the Whitney Museum of American Art and Radical Women: Latin American Art\, 1960-1985 at the Hammer Museum. \nDonna Huanca presents a series of new works commissioned by Ballroom Marfa in her exhibition ESPEJO QUEMADA. Huanca creates experiential installations that incorporate paintings\, sculptures\, video\, scent and sound. The profound experiences and memories of Huanca’s first visit to Marfa in 2005 inspired the work in the exhibition. The artworks draw on visual\, cultural\, and mythological cues informed by feminism\, decolonialism and the artist’s personal and familial histories\, while simultaneously engaging with the biodiversity\, geology\, and dark skies of Far West Texas. The sky was particularly striking for Huanca–animated with cosmic and extraterrestrial forces while also revealing the natural rhythms of the sun and moon. \nESPEJO QUEMADA\, Huanca’s first exhibition since the pandemic\, uses mirrors as formal and metaphorical devices to respond to changing conditions. The title\, which translates to “burnt mirror” in English and is purposefully feminized in Spanish\, alludes to Huanca’s feminist praxis. “Espejo Quemada” suggests reflections of the current moment\, portals to the past and future\, and catalysts for combustion and change.
