Press Release:
The exhibition, a nod to the esteemed quinquennial documenta, celebrates the artists Embajada has exhibited over the past 5 years as well those we admire and look forward to collaborating with. Like its namesake, documento extends for 100 days and aims to act as both survey and forum for an international contemporary art discourse rooted in a Caribbean context. Presenting a variety of mediums including painting, sculpture, video, and installation, documento encompasses Embajada’s mission of showcasing contemporary art that is in dialogue with issues of Caribbean identity, the multiplicity of Puerto Rican diasporas, and innovative art practices.

documento includes a collaboration between Oficina de la Embajada and KM0.2. featuring artists Yiyo Tirado and Karlo Andrei Ibarra in a project entitled Historia de la repetición. The timely presentation critiques the inequities inherent in the political electoral system.

Embajada was founded in October 2015 with the intention of spotlighting Puerto Rican artists within an international contemporary art conversation. Embajada’s working model is a combination between an independent self-funded project space and a commercial gallery. It is driven by the collaborative spirit and is inspired by the idea to exist as a diplomatic mission, to create a political context through the use of aesthetic information. Over the past five years, Embajada has mounted over 20 exhibitions, participated in numerous international contemporary art fairs, and proudly represented six diverse artists of Puerto Rican, Caribbean, and Mexican descent. From the inaugural exhibition He Put a Hot Fish on Her Navel to documento, Embajada is grateful for the connections made with its collaborators and its audience.
