3D Virtual Exhibit
SHIFTING STREAMS
Twelve Artists by the Hudson River
October 7 – December 9, 2020
Presented by
Hostos Center for the Arts & Culture, in conjunction with the Bronx Council on the Arts, will present Shifting Streams - Twelve Artists by the Hudson River in a 3D virtual space that replicates The Longwood Art Gallery @ Hostos. The exhibit brings together a group of twelve artists of Cuban origins who live and work on the west bank of the Hudson River, New Jersey where they have settled at different times of their lives and careers. The surrounding waters of their lives have shifted from the warm waves of the Caribbean Ocean to the peaceful streams of the Hudson River. Various subjects can be discerned within the variety of mediums and creative processes of these artists such as: the exploration of domestic spaces, communities, dreams, the self; anthropological revisions of material culture, history, economy, art; the aesthetics found in the principles of geometry and nature, the embodiment of cultural processes as well as the recreation of imaginative realms.
