EXHIBITION STATEMENT

Quisqueya Henríquez at VOLTA 2017

Quisqueya Henríquez has an ability to work through multiple mediums with superb execution. This year at VOLTA she showed with Barcelona gallery, Ana Mas Projects. Her various series of works are all unique to the next, yet are all guided by one set of theories that the artist is constantly developing.

“...Often times these narratives destabilize the norm, even a progressive norm. They make decision-making meetings at our institutions slightly uncomfortable. Narratives cross boundaries that often times act as borders with walls to those of us on the other side. Missing cinder blocks of truth make these walls fragile. Said another way, a narrative with omitted information is an incomplete story; a conversation unfinished. Which wouldn’t be a problem, except that we’re trying to get to this point where we can herald being “post-_____”.  But the voice is undetachable from the person and their narrative, their history, where they come from and so, in fact, it is an exclusionary practice regardless of the unintentional motives, that keeps the art world so incredibly lop-sided.”

Don Perlis “Times Square” 2015

Oil on canvas

“Don Perlis is a sharp-eyed observer of the passing human scene. His works are emotionally subtle and profound. Indeed they convey the deep emotions lying just underneath the surface of everyday life…He has created a grand illusion of reality…”   Donald Kuspit
