Lenapeeps gallery is pleased to present Unos Heroes by artist-in-residence Camilo Godoy from December 4, 2009 - February 4, 2010. The exhibition will be the gallery’s second solo show of Godoy’s work.
In this series of color photographs accompanied by text and a two-channel video piece, Godoy focuses on a homage to immigrants. By creating images that allude to notions of heroism and optimism, he puts forward his view of finding immigrants to be heroes.
Godoy’s work draws upon the immigrant identity. His photographs and videos are narratives extracted from the American dream: A collective journey based on the extreme faith in courage and manifest identity.
Camilo Godoy was born in 1989 in Bogota, Colombia. He is currently a second year B.F.A. photography student at Parsons The New School for Design in New York City. He contributes frequently to Jersey City Magazine.
Unos Heroes: will open on Dec. 4 from 6pm-9pm. An after-party event will be hosted at the WAREHOUSE at 9pm.
Lenapeeps Gallery is located at 7094 Grand St., Jersey City, NJ 07304. The WAREHOUSE is located at 140 Bay St., Jersey City, NJ 07302.
