The Latest Art From New York, a review of my solo exhibition, THE SPRAWL in the BusinessMirror written by Samito Jalbuena. View the article here.
A Constellation of Identities, Winking and Shifting, a review of our exhibition at El Museo Del Barrio’s 2013 LA BIENAL written by Holland Cotter. “In El Museo’s lobby, a wall drawing by Ernest Concepcion, born in 1977 in the Philippines, depicts El Museo and buildings farther east caught up in a kind of whirlwind. It’s a fantastic image, out of a digital disaster film, but with a grain of factuality: the barrio really is being blown apart by gentrification.” To read the full article click here.
