Exhibition: Exit Biennial: The Reconstruction began with an open call for proposals, bringing in more than 400 submissions. Artists were asked to create an installation as a metaphor for Exit Art’s renovation/reconstruction and its relationship to the new space and neighborhood. The participating artists talked about their concepts and installations on the night of the opening and worked on realizing their projects until the closing. The entire process of installation was open to the public and viewable on Exit Art’s website.

Exhibition: L Factor was a multidisciplinary arts project that investigated the fusion of Latino language and culture into the mainstream “American” culture of the United States. Exit Art’s aim was to expose how Latin influence has factored in American culture and society by inviting artists to respond to their experience of the Latin influence. The exhibition was itself a method for removing this art from being framed by “border issues” and placing the influence of Latin culture within the paradigm of American culture-at-large, including food, music, movies, television, and political issues. L Factor was about the influence of Latin culture and the resulting hybridizations of language, visual art, music, poetry, and politics.

The Americanization of Latino culture and the Latinization of American culture are at the heart of the hybridization of both Americas.
