Support cultural diplomacy locally and throughout the Americas!The OAS Art Museum of the Americas (AMA) and the Office of the Special Rapporteur for Freedom of Expression (SRFOE) of the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) present Inútil, an exhibition of new work by Stephanie Mercedes accompanied by pieces of the AMA permanent collection. Mercedes’ practice spans sculpture, sound, kinetic art, opera, club culture and choreography; transforming weapons into sculptural and musical forms. In her work, material speaks for itself. The dripping sounds of wax, the echoes of a power hammer, the forging of a new form—or none at all—are all treated as music.Important artists of the hemisphere represented in the AMA collection, such as David Manzur (Colombia), Juan Downey and Gaston Orellana (Chile), José Luis Cuevas (Mexico), Marcelo Grassmann (Brazil), Nelly Freire (Argentina), and Arnold Saper (Canada) are in dialogue with Mercedes’ new body of work. Here they situate contemporary concerns—violence, freedom of speech, identity, liberation, internal and external repression —within a broader "decentralized, integrative, contextualized, and multidisciplinary regional artistic lineage.This exhibition follows Mercedes’ memorial to murdered journalists at the OAS gardens in 2024, organized with the SRFOE in the framework of the International Day to End Impunity for Crimes Against Journalists.Art & Photo Credits, left to right, above:Stephanie Mercedesthere was something wrong with the invitationglass, wax, brass, exciter, sound, broken weapons, laithed weapons, artist’s headAMA director Adriana Ospina and artist Stephanie Mercedes at entrance to the exhibitionStephanie Mercedesit's a belief systemwood, motors, metal cast from weapons, pulleys, sound, contact microphone, artists head and braidsPhotographs by Rafa Cruz PhotographyDate and timeSunday, March 17, 11 am-12:30 pmLocationArt Museum of the Americas201 18th Street NorthwestWashington, DC 20006Your member donation goes directly to Friends of the Art Museum of the Americas (FAMA), a nonprofit membership organization that supports exhibitions and educational outreach programs of the Museum.By attending this event, you acknowledge that photography, audio, and video recording may occur.
