Transcultural Pilgrim: Three Decades of Work by José Bedia- until September 2012
The exhibition, consisting of 32
works including works on paper and canvas and two large-scale
installations, explores Bedia’s ancestral genealogy (Cuba) and his
constructed genealogy in the “other” Americas—the indigenous communities
where this transcultural pilgrim has found so much deeply personal
material for his spiritual and artistic practices. His trips to
indigenous North, Middle and South American communities and to Africa
can be called “pilgrimages,” for they are religious as well as artistic
forays. Bedia’s personal border crossings (social, racial, and
religious) reflect his exploration of historical and contemporary
encounters between cultures and countries, which he personalizes in his
artistic production.
