Jorge Tacla at Cristin Tierney Gallery, New York
Jorge Tacla is a Chilean-born artist who has worked with a number of different media. This showing of his work in Focus is concurrent with his solo show at the gallery in lower Manhattan curated by Christian Viveros-Fauné. Whereas he once took landscapes as cultural signifiers and sites leveled by uprising and warfare, he is presently turning his attention to fast-paced scenes of civil unrest in Africa, America, Chile, Lebanon, and Mexico. He focuses on the social rupture of the present world and its special dynamics.
