Tomorrow, I Will Become an Island Details
El Museo del Barrio is proud to present the first U.S. survey of influential Cuban-American interdisciplinary artist and writer Coco Fusco (b. 1960, lives in New York).
A renowned artist, Fusco has been globally lauded for her distinctly perceptive, acerbic, and piercing voice. Since the 1990s, her films, photographs, texts, installations, and performances have addressed the dynamics of politics and power in relation to issues of representation, culture, and institutional critique.
The exhibition will include more than three decades of Fusco’s artistic production, positioning her as one of the foremost artists shaping the contemporary art field.
