Wifredo Lam: Imagining New Worlds - August 30–December 14, 2014
Presenting more than forty paintings and a wide selection of
works on paper by Wifredo Lam (1902–82), this retrospective is the first to examine
the artist as a global figure whose work blurred boundaries among established
artistic movements of the twentieth century. Lam was born in Cuba to parents of
Chinese and African/Spanish descent. He gave expression to his multiracial and
multicultural ancestry whilst engaging with the major political, literary, and
artistic circles that defined his century.
The works displayed in Imagining New Worlds are drawn from
major public and private collections in Europe, Latin America, and the United
States and from all of the artist’s major periods. These outstanding examples
reveal the imprint on Lam’s hybrid style of surrealism, magic realism,
modernism, postmodernism, and the syncretic religion of Santería practiced in
the Caribbean and West Africa. Also examined in the exhibition is the influence
of Spanish baroque poets and Spanish, French, and Latin American avant-garde
artists and writers like Pablo Picasso, André Breton, Federico García Lorca,
Alejo Carpentier, Gabriel García Márquez, and Aimé Césaire. Exhibited together
for the first time are many of Lam’s greatest masterpieces, allowing for a
reexamination of the breadth of the artist’s oeuvre and chronicling how his
poetic imagination inspired his depictions of "new worlds."
Organized by the McMullen Museum, Boston College, this
exhibition has been curated by Elizabeth T. Goizueta. The accompanying
catalogue contains essays by Claude Cernuschi, Roberto Cobas Amate, Elizabeth
T. Goizueta, Roberto Goizueta, and Lowery Stokes Sims. The exhibition, which travels
to the High Museum of Art in Atlanta (February 14–May 24, 2015), has been
underwritten by Boston College and the Patrons of the McMullen Museum.

The Cuban Diaspora Cultural Legacy Gallery is a permanent

Alexis Rodriguez-Duarte in Collaboration with Tico Torres presents a selection
of iconic photographs of various writers, performers, composers, designers, and

Rodríguez-Duarte was born in Havana, Cuba. In 1968 he moved
with his parents to Miami, where he was raised. At the age of 10, he was given
his first camera by his grandfather, which sparked his interest in photography.
Today, he is an internationally renowned photographer whose work has appeared
in The New Yorker, Vanity Fair, Town & Country, and Harper’s Bazaar, among
others.
