Descripción de la Exposición
New York-based artist and educator Pablo Helguera (b. 1971, Mexico City) cordially invites you to Club Americano, the culminating project of the artist's residency at the MFA. This intimate one-room exhibition and shared space explores the historic foundations and contemporary definitions of American identity. Here, the term "American" is understood in the Pan-American sense: its Spanish translation, "americano," can refer to anyone or anything from either North or South America. Helguera takes aesthetic inspiration from 19th century Bostonian university clubs and gentlemen's lounges-exclusive gathering spaces for elite groups of one gender and race-but breaks with tradition by welcoming people of all backgrounds. At the center of the gallery is a 19th century dining table, surrounded by paintings, photographs, prints, textiles, and decorative arts from the Museum's world-renowned collection of art from the Americas. Selected by Helguera in collaboration with MFA curators, these artworks serve as the subject of three performances that ... examine their histories through a present-day lens. Modeled on the tradition of the 19th century "after-dinner speech," each program features a range of voices, including local academics, artists and activists, as well as members of the MFA's Teen Arts Council. Additionally, the MFA has invited select community advocacy groups to organize public events in the space on Wednesday evenings, when admission to the Museum is free. We welcome you to gather, lounge, read, experience the performances, and participate in the community-organized events. For a complete schedule, visit the exhibition website.
