"Pepón Osorio's Emotional Masterpiece: Unveiling the Artist's Vulnerable Soul"
The New Museum in Manhattan is hosting a 30-year survey of Puerto Rican-born artist Pepón Osorio's work, titled "Pepón Osorio: My Beating Heart/Mi corazón latiente." The exhibition showcases five immersive installations that reflect Osorio's experiences in Puerto Rico and New York, addressing political, social, and cultural issues affecting Latino and working communities. Osorio's assemblages and sculptures explore themes of masculinity, violence, incarceration, and health care, offering a range of intimate, raucous, and tender perspectives. The artist's work challenges assimilation and highlights the voices of marginalized communities.
