Anthony Goicolea Public Reception February 20, 2009

Through his new body of work, Related, Anthony Goicolea explores his identity as a first-generation Cuban-American. Drawings, photographs, and installations, based on portraits of relatives he may never have met, speak of his attempt to understand his origins and to become familiar with the faces of people whose traits he shares. Images of empty seats at dinner tables are symbolic of those who are missing, while extending an invitation to rejoin the family circle. The exhibition runs from February 17– June 28, 2009.
