Beginning in June, the Loveland Museum will host not one, but two main gallery exhibits. The Other Side of Memory: Photographs by Luis C. Garza will feature 66 black-and-white silver gelatin prints drawn from the extensive, largely unpublished archive of this Chicano photographer’s work in Los Angeles, New York, and Hungary. Garza’s images document his East Los Angeles community during the early 1970s, his South Bronx neighborhood during the 1960s, and his 1971 travels to Budapest, Hungary, for the World Peace Conference where he met Mexican muralist David Alfaro Siqueiros. This exhibition will take place at the Loveland Museum from June 22 – September 1.
Loveland Museum The Human Landscape
The Human Landscape exhibition features works from artists Elizabeth Alexander, Yazz Atmore, and Luis Santacruz. This group exhibition addresses the subject matter of identity through the lens of social justice, history, universal relationship, and kinship, both personal and in the broad context of community. The three artists in this exhibition use widely variant techniques of metaphor, representation, symbolism and placemaking to communicate a vision that compresses objective documentation and first-person experiential behavior. By re-presenting an accepted truth, these artists broach the subject of memory, for its negative potential and as an instigator for growth. This exhibition will take place at the Loveland Museum from June 29 – September 1.
A public reception during Night on the Town featuring A Conversation with Luis Garza will occur on Friday, July 12, 2024, 6 – 8 PM; with the artist talk at 7 PM.
