Curated by Raphaela Platow

This marks Mexican artist Carlos Amorales's second outing in a US museum, and promises further explorations of his penchant for theatricality. In addition to the presentation of twenty-six paintings, videos, and drawings, the artist, in collaboration with the Cincinnati Ballet, has planned a series of performances using the exhibition as its backdrop, during which dancers will interact with spiderwebs made from pliant metal and plastic. These forms originate in Amorales's Liquid Achive, 1999–, a library of digital images that feeds his wide-ranging practice, including many works in the show. The exhibition's substantial catalogue, with essays by Néstor García Canclini, José Luis Falconi, Jens Hoffmann, and Raphaela Platow and a conversation between Joan Jonas and Amorales, will be an important contribution to the scant English literature on the artist.
