> > >> TANIA BRUGUERA LAUNCHES IMMIGRANT MOVEMENT INTERNATIONAL >> Creative Time is pleased to join the Queens Museum of Art to announce Tania Bruguera’s Immigrant Movement International, a long-term art project in the form of an artist-initiated, socio-political movement. Bruguera will spend a year operating a flexible community space in the multinational and transnational neighborhood of Corona, Queens, which will serve as the movement’s headquarters. Engaging both local and international communities, as well as working with social service organizations, elected officials, and artists focused on immigration reform, Bruguera will examine growing concerns about the political representation and conditions facing immigrants. Bruguera will also delve into the implementation of art in society, examining what it means to create “Useful Art”, and addressing the disparity of engagement between informed audiences and the general public, as well as the historical gap between the language used in what is considered avant-garde and the language of urgent politics. >> Lead project support provided by the Annenberg Foundation, Rockefeller Brothers Fund, and the Rockefeller Foundation’s NYC Cultural Innovation Fund.
