Public Media Institute and Co-Prosperity Catskill is excited to present a solo exhibition of photographs from Chicago-based artist and recent US Latinx Art Forum Award recipient: Diana Solís. The exhibition will also be on-view during Upstate Art Weekend and NADA fair.
The opening reception of the exhibition was an evening of queer/fem performance sparked by a wooden stage built by artist Edie Fake, installed at Co-Prosperity Catskill from Reckless Rolodex. Necessary Excess brought together five artists from the Hudson Valley, Chicago and New York City: The Laurens, André Azevedo, Ále Campos (AKA Celeste), and CATSKILLCOPS
(June 11th - July 24th, 2023) This exhibit presents iconic images by Diana Solís (b. 1956) who began photographing as a teen while growing up in a predominantly Mexican community of Chicago called Pilsen. Working as a photojournalist in the 1980s-90s, Solís also documented the queer and Mexican communities they inhabited. They paused in 1990 and returned to photography in 2020 and since then they have been reflecting the people and the places that have shaped them. The exhibit includes historic photographs, new digital work, as well as ephemera and articles.
To see more work by Diana Solís, visit the Leslie Lohman Museum: Images on Which to Build: 1970s-1990s, curated by Ariel Goldberg, on view in NYC through July 30.
