Alberto Velasco presented his artwork at the American Folk Art Museum on December 1, 2005 to the La Guardia High School of the Arts creative writing students, led by English teacher Karyn Kay. Velasco shared his life experiences with the students including his upbringing as a Mexican/Pima Indian, being raised in California, living in New York since 1987, and his receiving of positive test results for HIV the same year. Velasco discussed how his art reflects these experiences and his emotions through a variety of media including his photo-realistic color renderings. The students then returned to school and were asked to draw on this experience and respond through creative writing. On April 12, Alberto Velasco and the La Guardia class meet again at the Folk Art Museum where the students read the poems that they wrote. A small publication was also printed.

Luis Carle, artist, curator of the Nuyorican Poets Café and founder of O.P.Art (Organization of Puerto Rican Artists) is working with the MoMA Library on it's survey of Archives of Latino and Latin American Art. Founded in 1993, O.P. Art is a non-profit organization dedicated to the development and promotion of Puerto Rican artists internationally. O.P.Art organizes exhibitions and advises its members on matters related to exhibitions, conferences, workshops and scholarships. The archival records of O.P. Art are comprised of correspondence, grant files, minutes and press clippings related to exhibitions organized by the group in Puerto Rico as well as in the United States. This archive also documents the participation of some Puerto Rican artist members of O.P.Art in the AIDS awareness movement. The Museum of Modern Art Library has been conducting a survey of archives of Latino and Latin American visual arts in New York. The aim is to survey and inventory the archival holdings of galleries, museums, grassroots organizations and research centers containing research material on U.S.-born Latino and Latin American visual artists living in New York and the greater Metropolitan Area. The immediate goal of the survey is to establish a network of Latino and Latin American art archives and to provide information about these archives.

Sunil Gupta and Isaac Julien's newly released portfolio of selected photographs from Looking for Langston will be exhibited at Metro Pictures from April 15–May 20, 2006. The black and white photographs were taken by Gupta during the filming of Julien's acclaimed 1989 film Looking for Langston and are being exhibited for the first time. The individual images are evocative, richly detailed works that articulate the strikingly crafted visual qualities of the film. A video presentation of Looking for Langston will also be on view. The 26-image portfolio sets a high standard for photographs that parallel film projects -- they are intense renderings of the visual components that might be missed in a filmic image. Gupta's photographs capture key elements and nuances of Julien's film production, including the staging, lighting, iconography and choreography. Metro Pictures is located at 519 West 24th St., New York. www.metropicturesgallery.com.
