Brooklyn Museum Opens Timothy Greenfield-Sanders: The Latino List
Exhibition of Photographs of Prominent Latino Americans along with Filmed Interviews
The Brooklyn Museum presents Timothy Greenfield-Sanders: The Latino List a new exhibition of large-format, full-color photographic portraits on view August 19–December 11, 2011.
The exhibition presents the personal stories of some of today’s most influential Latino Americans from the fields of culture, politics, business, and sports. America Ferrera, Gloria Estefan, Pitbull, Eva Longoria, Justice Sonia Sotomayor, and Chi-Chi Rodríguez are among the twenty-five subjects featured.
The exhibition will include excerpts from an accompanying documentary film, also called The Latino List, directed by Timothy Greenfield-Sanders with interviews conducted by Emmy Award–winning journalists Maria Hinojosa and Sandra Guzman. In this film, which will premiere on HBO on September 29, 2011, the people in Greenfield-Sanders’s photographs are seen and heard directly sharing their stories and experiences as Latinos in America. In the manner of The Black List Project, Greenfield-Sanders’s 2008 exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum that offered insights on what it means to be African-American in contemporary society, the portraits and filmed monologues of The Latino List collectively explore the meaning of “Latino” in the twenty-first century and illuminate the richness and diversity of Latino life in America.
Timothy Greenfield-Sanders’s photographs are in the permanent collections of major museum, among them the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, the National Portrait Gallery, the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, and the Brooklyn Museum. A contributing photographer to Vanity Fair, Greenfield-Sanders is also the producer and director of the Grammy award- winning 1997 film Lou Reed: Rock and Roll Heart.
Timothy Greenfield-Sanders: The Latino List has been organized by Lisa Small, Curator of Exhibitions, Brooklyn Museum.
The exhibition is sponsored by AT&T.
A wide range of related public programs will be presented in conjunction with the exhibition, with details to be announced.
