Island Thresholds,
Contemporary Art from the Caribbean, considers the sea’s
profound impact on Caribbean cultures through the work of four contemporary
artists. Marc Latamie, formerly from Martinique, examines the significance
of tropical exports. David Boxer from Jamaica invokes the slave trade
and other consequences of colonization in his work. Tony Capellán,
from the Dominican Republic, and Kcho, from Cuba, present more personal
points of view about Caribbean life; they invite viewers to consider
social justice, isolation, and memory through the use of everyday
objects in their installations.
