Join us to celebrate the opening of Miguel Antonio Horn's exhibition, <em>Dissonance</em>. Recalling Venezuela’s “Cacerolazos” in which protesters strike empty pots and pans to denounce food shortages and the economic and political crisis the country faces, Miguel Antonio Horn’s Dissonance channels public outcry in the face of an increasingly bleak reality. Horn’s new work at Taller Puertorriqueño probes the boundaries of power and powerlessness and asks how protest can bring about meaningful social change.

Miguel Antonio Horn is a sculptor from Philadelphia with Colombian and Venezuelan roots. He received a certificate in 2006 from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and apprenticed for five years with Mexican artist Javier Marin. His large-format sculptures have been exhibited in the Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Tamaulipas, Brownsville Museum of Fine Art, University of the Arts, Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, and as part of the Vancouver Biennale. His work is installed publicly in the Philadelphia region, Canada, and Mexico. He has received grants for workshops and artworks locally and internationally. He maintains a studio at the West Philadelphia artist-run workspace, Traction Company, where he organizes exhibitions and contributes to outreach and development.
