Arlene Mejorado: Here is the land in me / Aquí está la tierra en mí

Gallery Luisotti is delighted to announce Arlene Mejorado’s inaugural solo exhibition with the gallery. The show is a culmination of years of cultural, geographical, and familial investigations by Mejorado of the place she has called home since her birth and the various archives left behind by her relatives. The exhibition is primarily comprised of nine framed photographs, with elements of sculptural installation. The story told by the exhibition is as much a personal statement as it is an uncovering of a specific relationship to the landscapes and cityscapes of Los Angeles.

The show opens with a diptych setting the stage for the works to come. The fabric backdrop exists as static and moving—between showing the city and a shadow of the artist.
