Biennial of the Americas:

Now? Now!

MCA Denver and the Biennial of the Americas presented Now? NOW! as the Biennial's central exhibition in 2015, featuring over 30 artists from across the Western Hemisphere who questioned, transformed, and celebrated the complex now. Artists engaged imaginatively with the major concerns of the present. Some reacted to issues in a particular context, like political and economic reforms in Mexico and protests in response to police killings in the US, while others responded to more pervasive features of our time, like the potentials and pitfalls of technology and migration. The exhibition was a spark for questioning and celebrating this particular moment – unsettled, fast-changing, full of potential – in the long history of the Americas.

This exhibition included artwork by Kim Allen, Diego Berruecos, Zach Blas, Mariana Castillo Deball, Marcelo Cidade, Donna Conlon and Jonathan Harker, Sterling Crispin, Debora Delmar Corp., Radamés “Juni” Figueroa, LaToya Ruby Frazier, Coco Fusco, Marcius Galan, Anna Bella Geiger, David Hartt, Karl Haendel, Hitashya.org (Kari Altmann), Sarah Anne Johnson, André Komatsu, Robert Longo, Jorge Macchi, Laleh Mehran and Chris Coleman, Adam Milner, Aliza Nisenbaum, Fernando Ortega, Bernardo Ortiz, Adam Pendleton, Tania Pérez Córdova, Joaquín Segura, Skawennati, Eduardo Terrazas, and Ryan Trecartin.
