Liliana Porter: Other Situations accompanies the eponymous exhibition held at El Museo del Barrio from September 2018 to March 2019 and made possible with support from ISLAA.
New York–based Argentinian artist Liliana Porter (b. 1941) works across a range of mediums such as printmaking, sculpture, photography, and, more recently, performance, to explore the conflicting boundaries between reality and fiction. Other Situations offers a descriptive account of the eponymous exhibition, a nonlinear survey of Porter’s work organized by the SCAD Museum of Art in Savannah, Georgia, in 2017. It also includes documentation from her play Them, which was specially commissioned for the show and performed in New York at The Kitchen in 2018 when Other Situations traveled from the SCAD Museum of Art to El Museo del Barrio. This is the first publication to incorporate material related to the artist's theatrical work, a central element that serves as a gateway to understanding the exhibition and the body of work that composes it.
A book launch for Liliana Porter: Other Situations was held at El Museo on March 23, 2022.
