Exhibition
Saludos Amigos Latin American Artists in London - Hanbury Hall
A one night guerilla show at the Hanbury Hall
SALUDOS AMIGOS
In the 1940s Walt Disney travelled to Rio to make SALUDOS AMIGOS a pop portrait of Latin America, now Brazilian artist Robson Cezar is gathering together South American artists here in London to create a new SALUDOS AMIGOS as a contemporary representation of the heterogeneous cultures that comprise the continent today.
With Brazil one of the world’s rising economies and with East London as a cultural magnet for Latin American artists ever since Helio Oiticica staged TROPICALIA at the Whitechapel in 1967, the time is ripe to present a selection of the lively work being created by these individuals here and now.
Robson Cezar was responsible for the first SALUDOS AMIGOS that attracted capacity attendances at the Outside World Gallery in Redchurch St and was widely publicised.
Building on this success, SALUDOS AMIGOS 2010, this year’s one-night-guerilla-exhibition, will be held on 3rd June at the much larger Hanbury Hall - the First Thursday in the month when all the galleries open late and thousands of gallery-goers descend upon the East End.
