Wrestling with the Image: Caribbean Interventions, an exhibition of contemporary art from twelve Caribbean countries. Featuring work by artists from the Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Dominica, Guyana, Haiti, Jamaica, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Suriname, and Trinidad and Tobago, the exhibition is curated by artist and curator Christopher Cozier and art historian Tatiana Flores.

The Caribbean is a site of investigation for the artists in the exhibition—a constantly expanding space shaped by where ever they may travel, reside, or imagine. It is articulated by individual acts of visual inquiry seeking to transgress the usual and fixed traditional cultural, political, or geographic parameters. The works of art on display are often in contest with a much longer history of distorted representations which continue to be internally and externally manufactured.
Wrestling with the Image: Caribbean Interventions is not a survey or inventory of linguistic, ethnic, cultural, or national modes. It aspires to understand or engage the Caribbean through the current concerns of these selected artists for whom the region remains an ongoing “work in progress.”

Published in conjunction with the Art Museum of the Americas, The Organization of American States and Draconian Switch, ‘Wrestling With the Image’, is the Official Catalogue of the exhibition opened on January 21st and running through to May 10th 2011 at the Museum of the Americas, Washington. This 108 page downloadable catalogue designed by Richard Mark Rawlins, features the artists works, and essays by Cozier and Flores.
