Artist for Art+History Exhibition at Brown
Here’s some information about one of the two artists who are building installations for the exhibiton at Brown.
Carla Herrera-Prats, Artist in Art+History
Carla does research in archives and then creates artwork that comments on cultural and economic transactions around the world. She uses photography and material from other sources to question the documentary value of both images and text.
Carla was the co-director of a gallery called Acceso A in Mexico City and is part of a collaborative group of artists called CAMEL. Carla has exhibited her individual work in Canada, Colombia, Japan, Mexico, Philippines, Puerto Rico, and the United States, in venues such as Centro de la Imagen, Museo Dolores Olmedo, Centre Vu, Artists Space, and The Contemporary Museum, Baltimore. She has received numerous awards and grants for her artwork in the US and other countries. Carla was recently a Visiting Lecturer at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston and taught the Department of Visual and Environmental Studies at Harvard University. Now she teaches at CalArts, Valencia, California.
Carla graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from “La Esmeralda,” in Mexico City, and her Master of Fine Arts in Photography from CalArts, Los Angeles.
