LACMA’s Innovative and Powerful “HOME” ExhibitBreaks Boundaries and Hearts

+1 Recommend this on Google

By Daniel A. Olivas

I recently had the opportunity as a member of the press (on behalf of La Bloga) toattend a preview of a truly innovative and powerful new art exhibit at the Los AngelesCounty Museum of Art (LACMA) titled, “HOME — So Different, So Appealing.”

This exhibition was organized by the UCLA Chicano Studies Research Center, LACMA,and the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. It is part of Pacific Standard Time: LA/LA, whichis certainly, to use the words of LACMA, “a far reaching and ambitious exploration ofLatin America and Latino art in dialogue with Los Angeles.”

This is LACMA’s official description of this new installation:

“Organized in collaboration with the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, HOME — SoDifferent, So Appealing features U.S. Latino and Latin American artists from the late1950s to the present who have used the deceptively simple idea of 'home' as a powerfullens through which to view the profound socioeconomic and political transformations inthe hemisphere. Spanning seven decades and covering art styles from Pop Art andConceptualism to ‘anarchitecture’ and ‘autoconstrucción,’ the artists featured in thisshow explore one of the most basic social concepts by which individuals, families,nations, and regions understand themselves in relation to others. In the process, theirwork also offers an alternative narrative of postwar and contemporary art.”

The exhibit includes over 100 works by wellestablished artists such as SalomónHuerta, Doris Salcedo, and Guillermo Kuitca. It also includes younger emerging artistssuch as Carmen Argote and Camilo Ontiveros.

I am not an art critic and I certainly do not have the appropriate vocabulary andexperience to adequately review this exhibit in the manner that Carolina A. Miranda ofthe Los Angeles Times did in this recent review. All I can offer are a few thoughts assomeone who grew up in a household that appreciated and honored Latinx art.

As I walked from room to room and spent time with the various works, I found myselffeeling quite moved. One of the aspects I found so compelling was the artists’ use ofeveryday images and structures to express an ambivalent connection to what we call“home.” This ambivalence arises from the often heartbreaking and perhapsirreconcilable circumstances created by the crucibles of poverty, bigotry and/or theLatinx diaspora. Here are some of the works that I saw:

I had the opportunity to speak with one of the artists, Carmen Argote (picturedimmediately below), whose work is titled “720 Sq. Ft. Household Mutations” andconsists of the actual carpet torn from her childhood home. It contains every mark andstain that is part of her family’s story and history. Of course, her family’s collective livesamount to more than this bit of carpet, but it was the stage for her family’s struggles aswell as joyous occasions. She marveled at how small it looked as displayed in thegallery space.
