The art exhibition, ABSENCE, features the works of twenty three artists who were
selected based on this year’s open call inspiration theme ‘indifference and invisibility’ to reflect
on the present lack of activism and public awareness about HIV / AIDS. The exhibition includes
the participation of artists who worked directly with curator, artist, Hector Canonge, in the
creation of new works that challenged their regular practice and production methods to meet the
challenges of the project. ABSENCE promises to leave a mark on audiences visiting the gallery
of the museum, and as the organizer explains, “visitors will be challenged not just to walk by the
works of art, but to seriously think and reflect on what they can, might, cannot or might not see,
hear or touch.”

Latinidad
Coinciding with Hispanic Heritage Month, A-Lab’s October 2010 Forum focused on the theme “LATINIDAD” to explore issues and concerns involving artists who identify themselves as Latin / Hispanic living and working in the USA. The forum investigated notions of identity, gender construction, and social representation in relation to the growing presence of artists of Hispanic origin. Participating artists presented their work and discussed possible definitions and uses of the word ‘Latin / Hispanic,’ as well as the cultural and social notions of how their ethnic background affects or influences their work in contemporary art.

Participating Artists:
Alta Berri
Felipe Galindo
Norma Marquez Orozco
