Third Space Inventing the Possible
Catalog for the exhibition, Third Space Inventing the Possible at Museum of Contemporary Art North Miami, September 25 – November 2, 2014.Third Space features over 23 artists. The eighth page reads: The History of Miami is still being written according to a dated framework in which only a unicentric view of aesthetics is privileged. This privilege is achieved by the arbitrary removal of other people’s culture from the dynamics of historical continuity. Third Space: Inventing the Possible’s argument is not only to denounce this unicentric ideology, but also to interrogate the nature of this narrative to reveal the underlying myth which disguises these contradictions. Artists participating include: Alma Leiva, Edna Marrero, Juana Valdés, Yanira Collado, Mary Valverde, Aramis O’Reilly, Ernesto Oroza, Nicolas Guillen Landrian, Carlos Sandoval de León, Maria Magdalena Campos Pons, Purvis Young, Charo Oquet, Charles H. Nelson Jr./ Kevin Skipp, Jose Bedia, Onajide Shabaka, Gustavo Roman, Ralph Provisero, Jorge Pantoja, Manuel Mandive, Alejandro Aguilera, Ana Mendieta, Tomás Esson, and Glexis Novoa.
