Her art is bold and inventive, energized by sharp insight and sly wit. Syjuco has worked in diverse forms andmediums, including photography, sculpture, textiles, social practice, and installation. On view in this exhibition are recent AMAM acquisitions that represent the artist’s earlier andmore recent photographybased work. Black Market draws attention to global flows of capital and hidden economies. Amore recent series, Afterimages, was developed out of a Smithsonian Artist Research Fellowship. Born in the Philippines, Syjuco used the fellowship to support her search for evidence of the Philippines, Filipinos, and Filipino-Americans in various national and state archives. The fragmentary and biased character of the records she uncovered reveals the limited historical American vision of the Philippines, which was a U.S. colony from 1898 to 1946. Organized by Kevin R. E. Greenwood, Joan L. Danforth Curator of Asian Art, with special thanks to Driek (OC 1965) and Michael (OC 1964) Zirinsky.
