"Reflecting on Place: A Conversation with Carlos Rolón" in Carlos Rolón: Outside/In
Published by the New Orleans Museum of Art, 2018
The exhibition Carlos Rolón: Outside/In, featuring the work of Puerto Rican artist Carlos Rolón, was on view at the New Orleans Museum of Art from March 16 through August 26 of 2018. Carlos Rolón is internationally recognized for paintings, sculptures and installations that break down walls. Rolón’s project for NOMA explores the rich connections between New Orleans, Latin America and the Caribbean, from their shared tropical landscape to the intricate wrought iron fences—rejas in Spanish—that define the architecture of both places.
Carlos Rolón: Outside/In is accompanied by a catalogue that features essays by NOMA’s Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art Katie A. Pfohl, the Perez Art Museum’s Curator of Contemporary Art Maria Elena Ortiz, and the Museo de Arte de Ponce’s Associate Curator of European Art, Pablo Pérez d’Ors, an interview of Carlos Rolón by NOMA’s Andrew W. Mellon Foundation Fellow for Modern and Contemporary Art Allison Young, as well as short essays by artist Theaster Gates and NOMA Curatorial Fellow Lucia Momoh.
