#  Everyday Angles: Latin American women artists living in Boston and New York 

 



 *Curated by Liz Munsel and featuring Jessica Mein, Daniela Rivera, María Rondeau, Johanna Unzueta, Ingrid De Aguiar Sanchez*

 In 1979, the Chilean artist Lotty Rosenfeld created the “art action” *A Mile of Crosses on The Pavement*by intersecting the dotted lines of a Santiago street with sections of white tape. In doing so, she disrupted any ambivalence to the forces that direct movement in the city, and refused a singular reading of even the most innocuous of signs.

 *Everyday Angles* was an exhibition of five Latin American women artists living in Boston and New York. Like Rosenfeld, they each incite visual re-readings of public spaces and ordinary architectural elements. Inspired by, yet removed, from their cities of origin, a distancing from the familiar enables their fresh-eyed, critical perspectives. Mein’s billboards works, Rivera’s knit street line, Unzueta’s felt hardware, Rondeau’s tactile cityscape, and Sanchez’s hand-printed walls all borrow their forms from the organized architecture and grids of urban environments, but they engender the ominous authority of such commanding structures with evidence of human touch.

 *This exhibition was made possible by the generous support of Brillembourg, Brodsky, and Lemann Endowment Funds.*
