Brazilian art pioneer Waldemar Cordeiro was one of South America’s first computer artists. His treatise on arteônica—a compound of the words “art” and “electronic” and the title of an exhibition he organized in 1971—frames the computer as an instrument for positive societal change, one that could democratize art and culture. ARTEONICA* revisits this little-known Latin American art movement, creating a dialogue between a group of pioneering computer artists from the 1960s and 1970s and Latin American contemporary artists whose work responds to their legacy.

Descanse en Paz: Memorial Paintings from 19th-Century Mexico
This exhibition highlights two popular genres of 19th-century Mexican painting commemorating family members who no longer reside in the household— offering them a lasting presence in the home. The first intimately portrays deceased individuals in likenesses imbued with grief and tender remembrance. The second genre is the uniquely Mexican monja Coronado or “crowned nun” portrait. Images of flowers adorned Brides of Christ were commissioned by the families of women who took Catholic ecclesiastical vows and permanently embarked on cloistered lives.
