Manuel Acevedo

Winter Workspace 2013
Glyndor Gallery | January 2 – March 24, 2013 

Manuel Acevedo, a Bronx-based artist, creates installations from projections, light and printed images. These works experiment with optics and the way the viewer experiences an urban space. During the Winter Workspace he will create an alphabet made up of photographs taken on Wave Hill’s grounds. These stylized graphic forms will explore the covert and overt nature of military language. Acevedo’s recent solo and group exhibitions include Round 36, The House the Alhacen Built at Project Row Houses in Houston, TX (2012) and Al-Ghaib. Aesthetics of Disappearanceat Maraya Art Centrein Sharjah, United Arab Emirates (2011). In 2010, Acevedo’s critically acclaimed Keys of Light exhibition was presented at the Latino Cultural Center in Dallas, TX and the Bronx River Art Center. He has had solo exhibitions at Jersey City Museum and the Los Angeles Center for Photographic Studies. Acevedo has studied at the School of Visual Arts, the International Center for Photography and Pratt Institute.
