The Station Museum of Contemporary Art wishes to announce opening reception for its upcoming exhibition, FRAGMENTO, featuring the work of Carlos Runcie-Tanaka, on Saturday, June 27, 2009 at 7 pm.
Carlos Runcie-Tanaka is an artist with superb artistic skills, compelling visual insights and a profoundly spiritual sense of mystery. He was born in Lima, Peru; his heritage is Peruvian, Japanese and British. Lima is the multi-cultural capital of Peru on the Pacific coast of South America. With over twenty eight million inhabitants, Peru’s demographic consists of Indigenous people, Europeans, Americans and Afro-Peruvians. The predominant population are the Mestizos - they are of mixed blood of European and Indigenous ancestry. This cultural diversity is important to issues of personal and ethnic identity in all of contemporary art.
Runcie-Tanaka is engaged in integrating his various sources and influences. His artwork presents contemporary universal symbols of interethnic unity. He has absorbed the lessons of traditional pottery and pioneered an approach that goes beyond obvious or direct references to traditional Peruvian, Japanese and European art. As a result, Runcie-Tanaka’s works also bring the strands of his identity together with ancient mysteries that have a powerful contemporary resonance.
Once a philosophy major at the Catholic University of Peru, Runcie-Tanaka went on to dedicate his life to the art of pottery making, undergoing studies in Brazil, Italy, and Japan. He has participated in group and other collective exhibitions in Peru and abroad and has represented Peru in important exhibitions, such as the IV and V Havana Biennial (1991 and 1994), the 49th Venice Biennale (2001), the 8th Cuenca Biennial in Ecuador (2003), I, II, IV and V Barro de America Biennial in Caracas and the 26th Sao Paulo Biennial (2004). He has held solo exhibitions in Latin America, The United States, Japan, and Italy
Carlos Runcie-Tanaka: FRAGMENTO will be on view from June 27, 2009 through October 18, 2009.
The Station Museum is located in Midtown on the corner of Alabama and La Branch.
