minerva cuevas  participate in dallas museum of art - texas with concourse

kurimanzutto celebrates the first US solo museum exhibition of Minerva Cuevas at the Dallas Museum of Art, where she will create a site-specific mural in the museum's first-level Concourse.

Known for being a conceptual and socially engaged artist who creates sculptural installations in response to politically charged events. Her work often takes the form of re-branding the campaigns of international corporations and exhibiting them as murals and graphic works that question the role they play in the management of natural resources, fair labor practices, and evolving forms of neo-colonialism.

Engaging directly with the history of Dallas, Fine Lands is a panorama of the city told from the perspective of indigenous wildlife. Merging industrial and natural landscapes, the work encompasses themes as diverse as the militarization of civilian culture, pollution, and migration. She exposes how such cultural shifts are a result of our estrangement from nature. In this way, Cuevas explores how industry has shaped both the environment and the collective imagination of Texas. The work points toward the looming future, which may be uncertain, but is ours to impact.
