<p class="p1">Philadelphia-based artist <a href="http://corruptedtime.com/"><span class="s1"><b>José A. Ortiz-Pagán</b></span></a> transforms Taller’s garden into a sanctuary with this sculptural installation allowing viewers to contemplate space, place, and time. It echoes the migratory dreams and reconsideration of travel and departure of the people in the area. “Por las nubes" is a popular Caribbean expression that describes how far and out of reach something could be.</p>
