Diffused Limits: An Exhibit of Latin American Art

Diffused Limits/Limites Difusos features works by four internationally-recognized Latin American artists: Claudia Bernardi (Argentina), Luis Gonzalez Palma (Guatemala), Pablo A. Garber (Argentina), and Estela M. Garber, with poetry by Rebekah A. Bloyd (Argentina).

Diffused Limits/Limites Difusos introduces both the themes and formal aspects of these artists’ works as they explore the thresholds of diverse human experiences. In this exploration, the works dismantle the boundaries between the living and the dead, the past and the present, the interior and the exterior, and the animate and the inanimate. In diffusing these limits, the artworks take on new shapes to reveal the uncanny surfaces and relationships between boundary lines. 

About the Artists

Claudia Bernardi (b. 1955, Painter, Argentina/San Francisco) grounds her work on powerful social and political themes. Her art has been featured in solo and group exhibitions across Latin America, the United States, and Japan, reflecting her wide-reaching impact and global presence.

The work of Luis Gonzalez Palma (b. 1957, Photographer, Guatemala) represents an eloquent protest against human rights violations. Since his first U.S. exhibition in 1989 at New York's Museum of Contemporary Hispanic Art, Luis Gonzalez Palma's work has gained international acclaim, most recently featured in the epilogue of American filmmaker John Styles' latest film, Men with Guns.

Pablo A. Garber (Photographer, Argentina) has exhibited his photographs in the Latin American metropolises of Mexico City, Buenos Aires, and Caracas. His photography has also been published in several anthologies. 

Estela M. Garber (Sculptor, Argentina) works as an Art Therapist in New York City and has participated in several collective exhibits in the United States and Argentina. 

Rebekah Bloyd is a published poet currently living and teaching in Prague as a Fulbright Fellow.
