K Contemporary Gallery opens Taking Up Space, conceived to coincide with the U.S. State Department’s inaugural Cities Summit of the Americas, the exhibition features the work of eight K Contemporary artists addressing topics of Latin and Caribbean culture such as colonialism, diaspora, inequity, and the reclamation of public space. 

Taking Up Space shares an opening date and time (April 25, 4-7pm) with Pipelines, an outdoor art installation presented by the Biennial of the Americas with artistic direction by Black Cube Nomadic Art Museum. Taking Up Space and Pipelines are approximately a 5-minute walk from one another, so guests are encouraged to partake in festivities at both locations.
