The Current, Baha Mar’s original arts program, gallery and studios, made its international debut in New York City during VOLTA NY, a contemporary art fair known for its creative discovery and social engagement. The Current was represented through two solo exhibitions created by John Cox, art director and Bahamian artist; and Natascha Vazquez, creative arts programming manager and artist, March 7-11. Cox’s recently completed body of work “A Long Walk Home” debuted at VOLTA as a mixed-use sculpture and painting collection comprised of various materials such as wood, video, vinyl on canvas and cut paper silkscreen. The exhibit emphasizes the parallels between early Japanese Geisha culture and the complexity of Caribbean hospitality and tourism, commenting on the similarities between the two cultures, time periods and industries.
On Friday, January 19th from 6pm-8pm, The Current will host our first ever Pop-Up Exhibition, a one-night show featuring photography by Artist Nowe Harris-Smith (b. Bahamas, 1993). Harris-Smith’s work redefines urban identity and the thirst for a sense of individuality seen in crowded cities.
