San Juan, Puerto Rico.- The renowned triennial will open on October 24th and will last through February 27s, 2016, at different locations in the city of San Juan and across Puerto Rico, seeking to integrate peripheral spaces. The Poly/Graphic Triennial was established in 2003 and is the continuation of the San Juan Biennial of Latin American and Caribbean Engraving, first launched in 1970.
The Triennial is currently sponsored by the Government of Puerto Rico, directed by the Instituto de Cultura Puertorriqueña, and coordinated by the Visual Arts Program. The curators for this 4th Edition of the Triennial are Gerardo Mosquera (Chief Curator), Alexia Tala, and Vanessa Hernández. The topic is Displaced Images/Images in Space.
The 4th Triennial will explore the formal, methodological, and conceptual displacements and hybridizations underwent by the graphic image in a variety of fields, media, backgrounds, habits, and senses, as well as its entry into three-dimensional space. It will assert the expanded, instrumental, and decentralized character of the contemporary graphic image, which can even prompt us to speak of a post-graphic art. While the Triennial’s intent is to present the “poly” explosion of the contemporary graphic arts, it will also include traditional manifestations, articulated in an expanded field. The event will feature artists from Puerto Rico, America Latina, and the Caribbean, as well as Latino artists living in the United States. There will be solo exhibitions by Myrna Báez, Fernando Bryce, and Carlos Garaicoa, and important public-space interventions.
A broad program of exhibitions, roundtable discussions, lectures, and workshops accompany the event. For more information, visit: www.trienalsanjuan.com
