• K Contemporary presents “Black Bodies – White Lies,” incredibly timely, thought-provoking, and ground breaking exhibition and performance by an international acclaimed artist, Carlos Martiel. “Black Bodies – White Lies” is a compilation of performances done previously by the artist in Buenos Aires at CCK, Denver for the Biennial of the Americas, and the last one in New York during Martel’s confinement for the pandemic and more precisely after George Floyd’s murder. At the heart of Martiel’s work are powerful performances that raise questions about the way various societies have treated ethnic minorities and outsiders throughout history. Sign up slots are individual to limit the number of attendees to 5 people per 20 minute interval. For the safety of everyone, social distancing and masks are required.
