Tour Feliciano Centurión 'Abrigo' exhibition at the Americas Society on 'Guests and Gusto'
The SCAD Museum of Art presents an exclusive tour of Abrigo, the first U.S. solo exhibition of work by the late Paraguayan artist Feliciano Centurión. Organized by Humberto Moro, SCAD Museum of Art adjunct curator, the tour is led by Aimé Iglesias Lukin, director and chief curator of visual arts at the Americas Society in New York.
Centurión created textile works that engaged folk art and queer aesthetics in South America in the 1990s. Painting vernacular objects such as blankets and aprons and embellishing the works with embroidery, Centurión rendered poetic readings of his youth in the tropics, his experiences of love in the metropolis, and his spiritual reflections before his untimely death due to AIDS-related illness.
