Freddy Rodríguez, "Princesa del Caribe," 1974, Acrylic on canvas, 95 x 32 in (241.3 x 81.3 cm)
We are pleased to announce that Freddy Rodríguez's Princesa del Caribe (1974) is included in the latest stop of the touring exhibition Forecast Form: Art in the Caribbean Diaspora, 1990s–Today at the Museum of Contemporary Art, San Diego, opening April 18th.
This exhibition examines the ways in which the socio-political upheavals of the 1990s inflected cultural production across the Caribbean, a thematic appropriate for the work of Rodríguez, who distills Dominican history, culture, and politics into his technical and precise hardline abstract canvases.
Forecast Form: Art in the Caribbean Diaspora, 1990s–Today is curated by Carla Acevedo-Yates, Marilyn and Larry Fields Curator, with Iris Colburn, Curatorial Associate, Isabel Casso, former Susman Curatorial Fellow MCA Chicago now Associate Curator, MCASD, and Nolan Jimbo, Assistant Curator, Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago.
