Field of Play
Open Source Gallery
New York, NY

April 12 - May 11, 2019

Field of Play explores relocation and displacement through the abstraction of games and architecture, invoking a narrative space where boundaries are malleable, and viewers are in ‘play. The parallels between play and migration generate from indoor soccer leagues in New York City. Played on weekends at local public schools, these leagues are coordinated and operated by migrant Latin American and Caribbean communities. The questioning of inheritance and memory are conceptual markers in Ronny Quevedo’s practice. The act of passing – passing down, passing on, passing the ball – offers generative contemplations on a ‘point of origin’. This act of transference and transformation inform the elements in the exhibition.
