The Nomad Blvd team introduces their brick and mortar space Nomad Gallery with the art film exhibition titled _gen+esc (generation+escape) by Rabi.
_gen+esc is a series of short art films that explores the relationship between identity and the artistic process. Each short-format film, displayed on WHIM digital art canvases, interrogates the role of image in personal narratives and reimagines the embodiment of self, depicting a world free of conventional posturing.
In this wholly interactive experience, guests will be invited to utilize AR technology that casts imagery onto green-screen components throughout the space. Exclusive NFTs and prints available throughout the exhibition.
Rabi (b. 1984 David Emanuel Mordechai Torres) is a LatinX visual artist of Puerto Rican and Polish descent from Los Angeles, California. As a child of two immigrants, Torres quickly found comfort in the multifarious atmosphere of American life. Themes of contradiction, duality, and sociopolitical philosophy loom throughout his aesthetic. He is well-known for being the co-founder of the art collective CYRCLE, which gained international notoriety and allowed him to take his love of public art and installation to a wider audience. Rabi's works can be seen in public and private collections including that of Shepard Fairey, Ari Emanuel, Sean Combs, Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Puerto Rico, MOCA Detroit, MGM Grand in Las Vegas, The Art of Elysium, and the Contemporary Art Center in New Orleans.
