EDGE TO EDGE 2-The Lofts

Opening Reception:

Venice Institute of Contemporary Art

As a continuation of our study of the effect of innumerable geographical, political, idealogical and physical borders on various peoples, we present Edge to Edge 2, a survey of art happening now in Mexico and Southern California. Curated by Juri Koll of ViCA and Pablo Llana from Mexico, all of the works from Mexico are exhibiting for the first time here, and most, if not all, of the artists from each respective geographic region have not shown together before.

In order to effect a true conversation, works have been chosen without regard to theme or representation of borders per se. Some may comment on it peripherally, perhaps, but that is not the theme – in an of itself – of this exhibition. Open conversation requires respect, honesty, and due consideration in order to achieve benefit. That’s partly what this exhibition is about.

Artists in this show include César Bernal. Anonymous Boh, MB Boissonnault, Cosimo Cavallaro, Antonio Chaurand, Sulamit Elizondo, Tania Esponda, Juri Koll, Pablo Llana, Ramiro Martinez Plasencia, Jorge Moedano, Diego Narvaez, Robert Nelson, Paola Pineda, Jorge Pinzon, Ulises Platas, Erika Rascon, Catherine Ruane, Sonja Schenk, Nizzac Vallejo, Gustavo Villegas, Ádrian White and others TBA.

The exhibition travels to Mexico following its premiere in the U.S..
