The cacerolazos epitomize the public’s outcry, while the curved plated planes allude to the shields used by the police to subdue the crowds. Horn was inspired in part by similarities he perceived between the protests in Venezuela and news stories here in the United States about police brutality and their response to protesters with military hardware and tactics. The sound design, which was done in collaboration with the artist and musician Daniel de Jesús, gives the work resonance beyond its physical form.\n\nHorn encourages visitors to walk through the installation and respond to the objects and environment. Unlike his other works, the spectator is enveloped by the work, including the evocative soundscape created by de Jesús. Visitors are even allowed to clang the pots with the kitchen utensils.\n\nAs an artist, Horn regards himself as an impartial observer who nonetheless is troubled by the increasing disparity between ordinary people and unyielding political systems that supposedly represent them. Fascinated by deterioration and decay as a means to delineate time and impermanence, Horn experiments with composition, scale, place, and the distortion of form and volume to create experiences that resonate with the viewer.

He received a certificate in 2006 from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and apprenticed for five years with Mexican artist Javier Marín. Horn has exhibited his large-format sculptures in the Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Tamaulipas, Brownsville Museum of Fine Art, University of the Arts, Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, Philadelphia Museum of Art, and as part of the Vancouver Biennale. His public art commissions are on view throughout the Philadelphia area, Canada, and Mexico. He maintains a studio at the West Philadelphia artist-run workspace, Traction Company, where he organizes exhibitions and contributes to outreach and development.

His recent work brings together multiple artistic disciplines, extending printmaking to include animation, film, sculpture, and installation. Situated at the intersection of personal symbolism and popular collective iconography and myth, the themes of his work speak to the residue of the memory, repression, homophobia, and queer aesthetics. His work has been exhibited throughout the USA and abroad, and Abram has work in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Mint Museum, and Moravian College. He received his BFA from the University of Central Florida and his MFA from Tyler School of Art of Temple University. Abram has taught printmaking and drawing since 1989, and currently holds the position of Associate Professor of Art and Queer Studies at Denison University where he has taught since 1995.\n\n<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Connected Programing</span>\n\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">Panel Discussion\n<a href=\"http://tallerpr.org/event/the-queer-prism/\">Queer Prism: Casting a Light on Latinidad, Intersectionality, &amp; Place</a>\nSaturday, December 2 at 1 PM</h4>\n\nModerated by Larry La Fontaine, “Queer Prism” builds on the themes of Abram’s El Ambiente exhibition. The panel investigates Latino and Queer identities, and the stories created around places that bring people together. Looking at Puerto Rico’s queer spaces (el ambiente) and how they have become more visible in society, the panel will explore the transformation of Latino identity in light of growing acceptance of queer identity. Participants include Ron Abram, David Acosta, Gerard Silva, and Nikki Lopez.\n\nThe panel is part of Taller’s Diálogo Series, whose goal is to deepen our understanding of broader social issues of struggle, community, economic upheaval, and identity. Funding for Diálogo has been provided by a generous grant from PNC Arts Alfirive, a multi-year initiative of the PNC Foundation dedicated to supporting visual and performing arts groups with the goal of increasing arts access and engagement in new and innovative ways.\n\nRSVP <a href=\"http://tallerpr.org/event/the-queer-prism/\">here</a>','Ron Abram: El Ambiente','','publish','closed','closed','','ron-abram-el-ambiente','','','2018-01-19 14:59:50','2018-01-19 19:59:50','<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>November 17 to January 13, 2018</strong></h3>\r\n<blockquote>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">“In Puerto Rico the homosexual world is centered around el ambiente.

The panel investigates Latino and Queer identities, and the stories created around places that bring people together. Looking at Puerto Rico’s queer spaces (el ambiente) and how they have become more visible in society, the panel will explore the transformation of Latino identity in light of growing acceptance of queer identity. Participants include Ron Abram, David Acosta, Gerard Silva, and Nikki Lopez.\r\n\r\nThe panel is part of Taller’s Diálogo Series, whose goal is to deepen our understanding of broader social issues of struggle, community, economic upheaval, and identity. Funding for Diálogo has been provided by a generous grant from PNC Arts Alfirive, a multi-year initiative of the PNC Foundation dedicated to supporting visual and performing arts groups with the goal of increasing arts access and engagement in new and innovative ways.\r\n\r\nRSVP <a href=\"http://tallerpr.org/event/the-queer-prism/\">here</a>',0,'http://tallerpr.org/?p=9039',0,'post','',0);

Through puppets, prints, film, sound and installation, the work inspired by these spaces find commonalities through the use of folklore, history, popular culture and themes of personal and collective queer identity. In East Berlin, inspiration comes from Ludwig Hoffman’s 1913 Märchenbrunnen im Volkspark Friederichshain (Fairy Fountain in Friederichshain Park). The joyous fountain itself is made up of a multi-level basin surrounded by 10 limestone figures from Grimm’s fairy tales and an arcade filled with multiple animal sculptures. Like most of the city, it was all severely damaged during the bombings of World War II and left in various states of condition through the GDR period and until 18 years after the wall came down. The park was a known as one of the few meeting places for gay men during the GDR. The word “Märchenbrunnen” was code for being gay during this time. The beaches of San Juan represent a similar space for gay men on the island. The freedom “La Playa” represents has fed the spirit of my newest work. As my mother’s family emigrated from Barcelona in the 19th century, I returned this past March to revisit my own past and formation of identity. The resulting imagery combines imagery from Juan Bobo folklore stories, religious iconography and Latin Pop Culture.\r\n\r\nWhile much of the work comes from specific German and Latin sources, my desire is to create metaphorical works that speak on abstract and emotional levels: a true celebration of the resilience of queer identity in the face of fear, repression, and homophobia.\r\n\r\n<em>El Ambiente es para todos </em>nosotros<em>!</em>\r\n\r\nEl Ambiente is dedicated to the memory of my mother, Margarita Abram Roger, and my father, Max Abram.

El ambiente is the place for an ‘imagined community’ where both gay and straight spaces cross – since in Puerto Rico, very few homosexuals have the luxury of living in homosexual-centered communities. El ambiente is heterogeneous. In it all mentalities crisscross, reproducing the class and cultural system of the society and its corresponding ideologies. There are bars, clubs, beaches and other places exclusively homosexual. There are also ‘mixed’ spaces, interstitial spaces, such as gyms, billiard halls and even bars where everyone keeps their masks on. “\r\nAndres Torres, <em>The Puerto Rican Movement: Voices from the Diaspora</em></p>\r\n“The damaging part of learning to live your life in two parts, whether in reality or fantasy, cannot be underestimat\r\n\r\ned. It is an infectious skill that you learned, one that would eventually spread beyond the bedroom of your life. Life wasn\'t ever what it seemed on the surface. Nothing could be trusted for what it appeared to be. After all, you weren\'t what you appeared to be.”\r\nAlan Downs, <em>The Velvet Rage </em>\r\n\r\nThe work presented here connects two locations of East Berlin, Germany to San Juan, Puerto Rico for the\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_9046\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"196\"]<img class=\" wp-image-9046\" src=\"http://tallerpr.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/IMG_8037-300x293.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"196\" height=\"191\" /> Margarita Roger, San Juan, 1940s[/caption]\r\n\r\nconjuring of Queer Magic, the space that is this exhibition El Ambiente. Through puppets, prints, film, sound and installation, the work inspired by these spaces find commonalities through the use of folklore, history, popular culture and themes of personal and collective queer identity. In East Berlin, inspiration comes from Ludwig Hoffman’s 1913 Märchenbrunnen im Volkspark Friederichshain (Fairy Fountain in Friederichshain Park). The joyous fountain itself is made up of a multi-level basin surrounded by 10 limestone figures\r\n\r\nfrom Grimm’s fairy tales and an arcade filled with multiple animal sculptures. Like most of the city, it was all severely damaged during the bombings of World War II and left in various states of condition through the GDR period and until 18 years after the wall came down.\r\n\r\nThe park was a known as one of the few meeting places for gay men during the GDR. The word “Märchenbrunnen” was code for being gay during this time. The beaches of San Juan represent a similar space for gay men on the island. The freedom “La Playa” represents has fed the spirit of my newest work. As my mother’s family emigrated from Barcelona in the 19th century, I returned this past March to revisit my own past and formation of identity. The resulting imagery combines imagery from Juan Bobo folklore stories, religious iconography and Latin Pop Culture.\r\n\r\nWhile much of the work comes from specific German and Latin sources, my desire is to create metaphorical works that speak on abstract and emotional levels: a true celebration of the resilience of queer identity in the face of fear, repression, and homophobia.\r\n\r\n<em>El Ambiente es para todos </em>nosotros<em>!</em>\r\n\r\nEl Ambiente is dedicated to the memory of my mother, Margarita Abram Roger, and my father, Max Abram. The connections between Germany and Puerto Rico happen because of them as well. As parents, they filled my spirit with love, culture and adventure.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><em>by Ron Abram</em></p>\r\n<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">About the Artist</span>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://ron-abram.squarespace.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ron Abram</a> has been a printmaker for thirty years. His recent work brings together multiple artistic disciplines, extending printmaking to include animation, film, sculpture, and installation. Situated at the intersection of personal symbolism and popular collective iconography and myth, the themes of his work speak to the residue of the memory, repression, homophobia, and queer aesthetics. His work has been exhibited throughout the USA and abroad, and Abram has work in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Mint Museum, and Moravian College. He received his BFA from the University of Central Florida and his MFA from Tyler School of Art of Temple University.
