    Brian Curtis: Stonehenge Series I & II

    Pan American Modernism: Avant-Garde Art in Latin America and the United States

    This exhibition will explore, for the first time, the rich visual dialogue that exists between artworks produced by artists working in North, Central and South America during the modern and postmodern eras.  Rather than perpetuating a U.S.-centric hegemony, which tends to diminish works of art produced by Latin American artists, this exhibition will analyze how Pan-American artistic exchanges processes – rather than stylistic transmission – construct a fuller understanding of modernism as an international phenomenon.  Organized by the Lowe Art Museum and curated by Dr. Nathan Timpano, Assistant Professor, Department of Art and Art History.
