PRESS RELEASE

The exhibition presents the works of contemporary artists Julian Calleros, Sojin Chum, Ulysses Castellanos, Rita Kamacho, Alejandro Freeland, Julieta Maria, Jesus Mora , Nahum Flores, Erik Jerezano, Ilyana Martinez, amongst others. Toronto collective Z’otz* and 2+1 International Collective are also part of the exhibition. Most of the artists are members of the association, working in collaboration with invited artists and presenting a rich variety of media, from performance to installation.

The exhibition will take place from August 30 to September 10, 2006, at Propeller Centre for Visual Arts located at 984 Queen St West Street in Toronto. The opening will be held August 31, 2006 from 6 to 10 pm.

LCCA is a non-profit organization created by and for Latin American artists and cultural workers in Canada. Its inception reflects the need to reinforce and cement our cultural endeavors as well as to stimulate and support these processes by creating a progressive dialogue with other communities within the greater Canadian context.

The exhibition eXMargins explores concepts of limits, frontiers, barriers, and with the idea of collaboration intent to trespass, expose and/or obliterate those limits.

The artists in this exhibition go beyond their known space and territory, by connecting virtually or physically, they expose and link elements, relations and spaces. Margins and limits are then subverted by the idea of collaboration, in an intent by the artists to communicate and display their concerns and presence.
