Francisca Benitz (b. 1974, Chile)

Soliloquy in Signs

Francisca Benitez turned the four months leading up to her performance into a residency on the pier, during which she spent time observing the gestures of its myriad visitors. Compiling these gestures into sign language research, for her...

It was such an honor to work with Francisca Benitez earlier this year during her screening of Oro Dulce at Cuchifritos Gallery. We couldn't be more thrilled to see her brilliant work continue to receive much deserved support! Be sure to check out her work and that of many others in High Line Art's recent project Pier 54, on view now through December 13.

Genealogy Project at El Museo del Barrio

Nicolás Dumit Estévez, in collaboration with our friends at El Museo del Barrio are organizing En Familia: El Museo as Genealogy, a project that aims to find unforeseen connections between those who currently and formerly work, exhibit, talk, or perform at this iconic institution.

Participants are asked to send: your first name, three "selfie" photos as jpeg files, and an email authorization to publish your photo (“I ___ allow El Museo del Barrio and Nicolás Dumit Estévez to use my image for “Office Hours"). Also, briefly describe what you like best about what you do or have done at El Museo, or anything about yourself and your interests and hobbies.

These materials will be organized in an online album and are a study of art at social exchange, something Nicolás has examined for the past decade.

Email materials by August 15 to sreeser@elmuseo.org
