From an artfully composed pile of fragmented white ceramics to a giant egg made out of tire treads and a “wave” of flip flops collected from those fleeing the Dominican Republic and embellished with barbed wave, Bilateral Engagement showcases a range of contemporary sculpture from Latin American and area artists.
The exhibition, at the Organization of American States’ Art Museum of the Americas through Jan. 16, features artwork from the Washington Sculptors Group along with pieces from the museum’s permanent collection.
A work of art in and of itself, the museum is located at 201 18th Street, NW, walking distance from the Foggy Bottom Campus. Admission is free and the museum’s hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Tuesday through Sunday. GW Today will write a more in-depth story about the Art Museum of the America’s next exhibition, which will showcase highlights from its permanent collection, when it opens in early February.
