Watch Eugenio Espinoza discuss his exhibition "Unruly Supports (1970-1980)"

"Eugenio Espinoza: Unruly Supports (1970 – 1980)," features over 50 exceptional works including paintings, photographs, sculptures, postcards and documentation of performances and interventions by Eugenio Espinoza (b. 1950, Caracas). The exhibition, curated by Jesús Fuenmayor, focuses on his practice during the decade of the 1970s, highlighting Espinoza´s significance within the Latin American avant-garde of that period. Currently living in Florida, Espinoza is known for his nonfigurative, humorous and irreverent manipulations of grid forms, that he began developing in the late-1960s. These works were produced as a reaction to the dominant tendencies of geometric abstraction and Kinetic art in Venezuela during these decades. Unruly Supports (1970 – 1980) traces these seminal works, which include his large Impenetrable (1972)—an installation that subverted the modernist cannon, challenged Kinetic art, and engaged post-minimalist strategies—and explores Espinoza’s active involvement in the evolution of abstraction during the post-war period. "Eugenio Espinoza: Unruly Supports (1970-1980)" runs from March 19 - August 23, 2015 For more information, visit pamm.org
