“Rigo 23” is curated by Amy Mackie, Curatorial Assistant.
For over twenty years, artist and activist Rigo 23 has challenged the status quo and advocated for social and political change through his murals, interventions, sculptures, paintings, drawings, performances, and ’zines. Informed by both the history of punk and DIY (do-it-yourself) aesthetics Rigo 23’s practice comfortably adapts itself to the environment in which it is presented. He is well known in the Bay Area for his Pop-inspired, large-scale signs of modified street markers as well as his murals that draw attention to the plight of political prisoners from the Black Panthers of the Angola 3 to the American Indian Movement's Leonard Peltier. Though many of his past projects have navigated the urban terrain, he has also focused on global concerns. Most recently he was invited by the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego to work with several indigenous communities in the Atlantic Forest South-East Reserves in southern Brazil. Rigo 23 will create a new site-specific installation for the Shaft Project Space at the New Museum. 7/15/09 - 10/11/09 New Museum 235 Bowery New York NY 10002 info@newmuseum.org www.newmuseum.org |
