About the exhibition
Chosen Memories presents contemporary works by Latin American artists who have been investigating history as source material for their work. Anchored by a transformative gift of works from trustee Patricia Phelps de Cisneros, and shown in dialogue with other Latin American works from the Museum’s collection, the exhibition brings together videos, photographs, paintings, and sculptures made over the past four decades.
The dialogue continues below with three online-only videos that expand on these themes of memory and time, alongside two recent acquisitions that are also included in the gallery exhibition.
