De La Cruz Progressive Praxis Exhibition

The de la Cruz Collection presents their 2017 exhibition, “Progressive Praxis.” By merging a variety of styles and mediums, the works selected for this year’s exhibition mirror contemporary culture while allowing an openended conversation of various interpretations and possibilities. The context of this exhibition creates a critical understanding of our shifting visual culture.“Progressive Praxis” considers the impact of preceding art movements and how contemporary artists conceptually engage with the advancements of technology. Our society is conditioned to create, disseminate, and alter information as they see fit. The use of computers as a method of executing work is no longer a game changer for artists, as there are no traditional boundaries between the virtual and physical. Artists today embrace technology to overcome the limitations of physicality and past formal art processes. The artists selected for this exhibition reveal a generational position that is inherent to an artistic idea and language of their time. The works in the exhibition create a dialogue between past and present. The exhibit also emphasizes the relationship between object and space, as the architecture of the galleries was taken into consideration in framing this exhibition.
