Hyphenated Encounters by Lilian Garcia-Roig

Deering Estate in partnership with The Frank C. Otis Art Gallery presents Hyphenated Encounters by Lilian Garcia-Roig, curated by Sophie Bonet and Liliam Dominguez. This two-part exhibition will open with a reception from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Thursday, September 17, at The Frank C. Otis Art Gallery, and will remain on view through January 17, 2027.

Hyphenated Encounters offers an expansive look at the work of Cuban American artist Lilian Garcia-Roig, bringing together a career-spanning survey of her artistic practice with a focused presentation of work created during her 2024 Deering Estate Artist-in-Residence residency. Together, these complementary exhibitions offer the most comprehensive presentation of Garcia-Roig’s work to date, pairing a career-spanning survey with an intimate look at the artist’s site-responsive practice through her 2024 Deering Estate residency. Presented across two distinct but interconnected curatorial projects, Lilian Garcia-Roig: A Practice of Place, curated by Sophie Bonet, Chief Curator of The Frank C. Ortis Art Gallery, traces more than three decades of Garcia-Roig’s evolving relationship to place through paintings and mixed-media works. Deering Estate Residency: Lilian Garcia-Roig, Site, and the Labor of Belonging, curated by Liliam Dominguez, Head Curator of Deering Estate, centers on work developed during the artist’s 2024 residency, highlighting her site-responsive approach to painting through new works and an accompanying short film by fellow Artist-in-Residence Jorge Gonzalez Graupera.
