This Is America: Selections from PAMM's Collection is a reflection on the United States' Semiquincentennial from the perspective of PAMM's permanent collection, featuring nearly 80 works by 70 artists across photography, painting, collage, sculpture, and neon. The exhibition meditates on the United States' 250th anniversary through the museum's varied collection, interpreting what it means to be an American through an inclusive and broad lens. The works in This Is America are loosely organized around the diversity of American people, pivotal moments in the country's history, stories of immigration and cultural adaptation, and the media landscape.
Featured artists include Vito Acconci, Eddie Arroyo, José Bedia, Deborah Brown, Judy Chicago, Danielle De Jesus, Coco Fusco, Lyle Ashton Harris, Gonzalo Hernández, Thomas Hirschhorn, Alfredo Jaar, Deborah Kass, Yucef Merhi, Joel Meyerowitz, Rashid Johnson, Ruth Orkin, Howardena Pindell, Sandra Ramos, Kenny Rivero, Zoe Strauss, Evita Tezeno, and Danh Vō, among others.
This Is America: Selections from PAMM's Collection is organized by Maritza M. Lacayo, Associate Curator, with the support of Naomi Bitton, Curatorial Administrative Assistant, and Fabiana A. Sotillo, Curatorial Assistant.
