Espacio 1414 is pleased to announce its upcoming exhibition, Painting2. The focus of this exhibition is painting, and how it has evolved in the 21st century. Artists are using technology to transform the act of painting into what we like to think of as Painting2.  Some artists are using printing or film as their method of painting while others are using new venues such as the internet and social media as material for their paintings, for imagery and/or conceptually. Meanwhile there are artists who are focused on pushing the limits of what can be created through traditional painting. In Painting2, we display a group of works that bring into question: what is painting?

The Berezdivin Collection at espacio 1414, sponsored by Kress Stores of Puerto Rico, opened its doors in January 2005. The collection, built from a special interest in contemporary art from Latin America, has diversified throughout the years in order to cover the wide range of practices and discourses of international contemporary art. Today, the collection aims to bring visual arts closer to a wider audience, and complement Puerto Rico’s cultural offer with an open program that enables different collaborations with artists and curators, continuing with the tradition of commissioning projects and working with pieces from the collection for its exhibitions.
