Duet is a body of work made while
on and in response to spending three months as artist in residence
on the Mexican/U.S. border. The exhibition explores the landscape
of El Paso and Ciudad Juarez as a repository of shared connections
and experience. Giving the land voice to both remember and carry
the complications, contradictions, and beauty of the place; the
way these nuances act in harmony, and the notes of discord they
strike. A leaflet featuring commissioned writings
by Chloe Hodge, Project Curator and Manager, Commissions, Tate Britain
and Kerry Doyle, Director of the Rubin Center of Visual Arts, will
be available during the exhibition. Kerry Doyle is the Director
of the Rubin Center for the Visual Arts at The University of Texas
at El Paso. She specializes in curatorial projects that are interdisciplinary,
participatory and performative, with a special focus on the border
as subject and site. Doyle regularly collaborates with individuals
and institutions from both El Paso and Ciudad Juarez in the execution
of a wide range of interdisciplinary and community-engaged programming.
She has curated and organized original exhibitions, commissions
and performances by international artists including Tomás Saraceno,
Tania Candiani, Regina Jose Galindo, Teresa Margolles, Máximo Gonzalez,
Jose Antonio Vega Macotela, Fiamma Montezemolo, Rafael Lozano-Hemmer,
Minerva Cuevas and many others. She was a fellow at the Smithsonian
Latino Institute (2009) and the Getty Institute for Museum Leadership
(2014). She holds a BA in Political Science from De Paul University,
Chicago; a BA in Drawing and Printmaking and an MA in Border Studies
from UTEP. Chloe Hodge is a London-based curator with ten years’ experience working with international artists and institutions.
