Gallisá describes the emotional arches of real -life news, which pointed to the Puerto Rico community Hartford Charter Oak Oak Community. The definition event was more than 7 million. USD theft from Wells Fargo West Hartford in 1983 September Puerto Rico Independence Activist Los Macheteros 1983 September At the time, it was the biggest robbery in the history of US in US history. The main suspect, Hartford resident Victor Gerren, remains today, perhaps living in Cuba.
Gallisá is the first Puerto Rican artist to be given the Matrix exhibition. It takes advantage of the opportunity to compare traditional artistic, as well as creating an impressive and creative documentary.
The video works both as a well -explored documentary, depicting insightful interviews and as a work of art with creative prosperity and bright abstractions. Hartford images in the 1980s contradict the footage of the same areas. Peaceful landscapes and calm roads are considered as resonant as photos of social unrest. The same goes for pieces on the walls. There are artistically filmed news stories about Wells Fargo robberies that can be read on their content, as well as evaluated as art objects.
There is a motive for the entire tobacco leaf, as there were many Puerto Rican Immigrant families in the local agricultural area. The process of a phytography chemical film was used to create a subtle images of leaves taken from the district around the home of Gerren, as well as tobacco leaves taken from Enfield and Windsor farms.
Gallisá is reportedly the first Puerto Rican artist to be given the Matrix exhibition. It takes advantage of the opportunity to compare traditional artistic, as well as creating an impressive and creative documentary.
The video creates new perspectives to evaluate this main event in the Puerto Rico community of the 1980s. The artist establishes him with feminine voices, including the use of female readers to say a transcript of men dominated by Wells Fargo.
Gallis is seeking to involve community and family elements in history and ends with the Mother of Gerrya as the main character of the narrative. Gloria Gerren was a community organizer and a social worker who remained in Hartford, living with the legacy of her son’s alleged crime and disappearance. She died in 2022, and the love the community felt about it is felt in the film. Gallis is deserving of a huge conviction for the erection of such a sensational adventure history, and humanizing those who have been indirectly influenced. It presents the topics of sexism in the political activist community and emphasizes such differences, making sure that they have a gender balance at work.
The spectacular plans of Victor Gering’s escape are discussed in detail, including the use of people who are not involved in the robbery as a cozy and hidden section of the camper van. These memories are not conveyed as moments of action film, which may not be in a fully realized story, but as aspects of community ethnographic and mythology.
Other Matrix shows have been from Hartford’s history and local themes over the years. Alan Ruiz’s “Risk Management” exposition this year was about plans for the reorganization of the Wadsworth Museum, known as “debate discussions”. The installation of Ruiz was mainly abstract and not under the program without information content. On the contrary, Gallisá presents artistic rotation at a historic event, but also allows us to look at a wealth of research material. (Some of the newspaper English articles are “Hartford Court” and many of the local Spanish periodicals.)
The setup of the exhibition is simple with the projection screen, when the film plays in a continuous loop in one space of a long rectangular matrix gallery and elements associated with history, framed or glass cases at the other end. The movie takes about 20 minutes, and you may want to watch it several times to understand all the nuances. Other elements can be seen at several levels and will take time to absorb their conditions.
In a public interview with the curator of the Matrix Gallery, Jared Quinton, the opening of the exhibition explained Galisá that “I always cared about how we achieve images.” She mentioned other artists working in the field of observation. She said that when Quinton offered her a matrix nest, she knew she wanted to make a piece about the Hartford Puerto Rico community. “There is a long history of organization in the community,” she said.
Gallisá talked about “mythical” history of history in his work, as it seeks to find “new narrative strategies” and as “not one version of these stories”. She told about reading six years of newspapers to handle the history of the wells Fargo robbery, which was in the headlines and in the 1980s. 40 years ago, she united the idea of the study of the study with today’s ice raids. First of all, it appreciated the artistic quality of all aspects of narrative, research and journalism. “I don’t think my videos contain everything they are about,” she said.
