Uruguay has made significant contributions to the world of art and design, and several Uruguayan artists have had an influence on the constructivist movement, which emerged in the early 20th century. Constructivism was an avant-garde art movement that originated in Russia and later spread to other parts of the world. It emphasized geometric abstraction, the use of industrial materials, and a focus on the practical and functional aspects of art and design. Artists: Vicky Barranguet, Josue Guarionex, Jose Gurvich, Jose Luis Gutierrez, Juan Sarias, Margarita Vincenty.

This vibrant and experimental exhibition revisits and honors the legacy of three historic exhibition series in Puerto Rico from 2000 to 2016 that foregrounded the independent spirit of art making across the region during a time of hopeful possibility. The exhibition is guest curated by Manuela Paz and Christopher Rivera of Embajada, an independent, self-funded gallery founded in San Juan in 2015. Named after the Spanish word for embassy, Embajada serves as a bridge connecting artists on the island with the rest of the world, fostering connections to the contemporary art world.
We’ll also have a live musical performance by Joel “Yoyo” Rodríguez Vargas, whose work is featured in the exhibition.
