The 5th SUR:biennial took place at seven venues in Los Angeles: Cerritos College Art Gallery, Cypress College Art Gallery, Eastside International, Long Beach City College Art Gallery, Rio Hondo College Art Gallery, and Torrance Art Museum. The biennial showcased recent works of local and international artists who have been influenced by the cultures and artistic traditions of Mexico and Central and South America. Unlike many recent exhibitions of Latino/a, Mexican, Mexican-American, or Chicano/a art, the SUR:biennial seeks to explore notions of globalization and exchange that take place in the ambiguous geographical, cultural, and artistic borderlands between Los Angeles and “the South,” regardless of the artist’s nationality.
