I am honored to curate an exhibit in such a wonderful venue full of talent, creative force and solidarity.
The title “Flight of the Monarch” was born from my personal experience having visited the Monarch Sanctuary in central Mexico. It is amazing what these small insects achieve, some of it comes from their perseverance and sense of mission, however much of it comes from their action as a mass. I hope this exhibit reveals the power of the artist as an individual and as a whole without limitations and restrictions. I asked Mark Ross to write the text with his intuitive and eloquent style and thank every one involved in this beautiful exhibit. With these notions in mind we welcome you to the International Art Biennial-Houston.
