Cynthia Minet: Migrations

Event Phone: (956) 682-0123
Admission Price: Starting from $1.00
The solo installation, Migrations, is an illuminated and interactive exhibit of six suspended sculptures and one floor piece. It is accompanied by a few wall-mounted drawings that could be shown in an adjacent space. The installation is site-responsive, composed mainly from recycled plastic debris from Los Angeles, but also incorporating found materials gathered from the borderlands region of the Rio Grande Valley. The works interpret the Roseate Spoonbill aquatic bird in various stages of flight. Light sequencing, and motion-activated sounds of wing beats, running water, bird calls, footsteps through grasses, etc., will create a sense of movement and mystery in the darkened gallery space.

The Roseate Spoonbill is native to the Southeast coastal regions but its migration takes it all the way to South America. An aquatic wading bird, it is dependent on a specific balance of water levels and food for its survival and propagation. The Audobon Society considers this flamingo- colored bird an indicator of the health of the environment of the Gulf Coast.

I see the Roseate Spoonbill as an effective artistic surrogate for human experiences in the region. Given the existing border wall with Mexico and the plans that this administration has to build an even larger wall, the multiple readings of the installation include both social and environmental commentaries on the complex issues of borderlands, whether in the United States or worldwide.
There are no events happening in the near future.
