Radical Propagations/ Propagaciones Radicales

The Propeller Gallery at the 18th Street Arts Center is pleased to present the exhibition Radical Propagations/ Propagaciones Radicales curated by artist and researcher Maru García, and featuring the work of Alberto Tlatoa, Lucia Monge, Rashonda, Rebecca Youssef, and Yrneh Gabon.

Just as a plant is said to propagate by being divided or making cuts and favoring the appearance of roots, this exhibition includes the work of artists whose practice focuses on splitting and sharing, on generating spaces for regeneration and resilience. Actions that seem minuscule, when propagated by these means, achieve a scope that goes beyond superficiality.

In this exhibit, these common art studio staples usually destined for a landfill, are transformed into art, thus proving that beautiful things can be created by working with the planet, not taking from it.
