The Museum of Latin American Art in Long Beach is hosting three important exhibitions

Following their leadership in showing the best of Latin American art in the United States, the Museum of Latin American Art in Long Beach, California has organized three exhibits that explore the life and work of Latin artists: "LATINO/US Cotidiano," "Forms: Artists from La Ruptura" and "Spotlight: Marta Minujin."

"LATINO/US Cotidiano" showcases the Latino influence on the American cultural sphere. It is a dynamic look at the rapidly changing nature of the Latino experience in America. Artists in this exhibit include photographers Carlos Alvárez Montero, Sol Aramendi, Katrina Marcelle d'Autremont, Calé, Ricardo Cases, Livia Corona, Héctor Mata, Karen Miranda, Dulce Pinzón, Susana Raab, Stefan Ruiz, and Gihan Tubbeh.

"Forms: Artists from La Ruptura" is a collection of works by Jose Luis Cuevas, Leonel Góngora, Alberto Gironella, Ricardo Martínez, Lilia Carrillo, Manuel Felguérez and Rafael Coronel. The Ruptura (or Breakaway) movement was a stance against the school of Muralism that had been dominant in Mexico up to WWII. Through abstract expressionism, Ruptura artists emphasized their own personal emotions over the muralists' social realism.

"Spotlight: Marta Minujin" focuses on the Argentinian conceptual artist, with an intimate display of her work Sólo una manera / Only One Way, 1995, in MOLAA's Collection. The show will feature references to Minujín's sources and visual representations such as classical Greek forms and iconography, alongside other works with similar themes, which aim to analyze her oeuvre in context with other works from the Collection and her own practice as a conceptual artist.
