Localization, Location, Ubicación
Curated by Ciara Ennis
Lenzner Family Art Gallery
January 28-March 19, 2010
Opening Reception:
Thursday, January 28, 5-8 p.m.
Referencing Marcel Mauss's theory of Gift Economy, New York-based artist Carla Herrera-Prats produces a gift-in the form of a book entitled Localization, Location, Ubicación-and donates it to libraries in Canada, the United States and Mexico that have contributed information and photographs to it on the subject of immigration, labor, collaboration and art. This gift functions as a bridge linking the participating institutions together and examines the way knowledge production and art are formed, disseminated and organized. The gallery houses the materials accumulated in the production of Localization, Location, Ubicación, including the pictures each library sent for their publication.
