12020-03-26T20:38:54+00:00Art Across the Border1August 26 - November 17, 2019 | Guggenheim Gallerystructured_gallery98042020-03-26T20:38:54+00:00This exhibition shows artworks created around and influenced by the Mexico - U.S. border. The artists explore the implications of the physical border, which is at the same time informed by and feeding back into popular sentiment and psychological borders. From "artivist aesthetics" to personal histories, the ramifications of the border on the lives of the communities on both sides of it, as well as the broader political significance of this delineating landmark are under investigation. The term Border-Art is a young art historical category and dates back to the formation of the Border Art Workshop in 1984 with their conceptual works, performances and site-specific installations. While the group was active during the 1980's their initial impulse still resonates in the fabric of artist communities today. Considering recent political and humanitarian developments the border and its effects continue to be subjects of artistic inquiry.
