Guggenheim Museums and Foundation are promoting the work of Dominican artist Raul Recio with a video by Rita Indiana, the Dominican-born writer, composer, and performance artist. In the video, Indiana explores Recio’s work, which moves between performance art, video, and more traditional forms such as drawing and sculpture. Recio talks about his decision to follow in the footsteps of Swedish botanist Erik Ekman when he traveled to the Dominican Republic in the early 20th century, designed and built a rural house and produced a series of paintings that challenge our notions of the figurative and the abstract, science and art. Ekman was among the first foreigners to climb Pico Duarte, as described in the video. The video is also viewable as a Perspectives blogpost, and is accompanied by a text. While the video is in Spanish, English subtitles can be viewed by using the CC button.
