"...one of those people you remember for the rest of your days, leaving lasting impressions for the positive ways with which he approaches life. Rolando Chang Barrero is a true artist." Click Here to Read Full Story
The christening party for what Barrerro and his partners hope will be Palm Beach County’s newest arts district starts Friday with three days of events behind the fresh white facade of Barrerro’s 4,000-square-foot Box Gallery.
The All-Florida Exhibition includes work of about 30 artists from all over the world who now live in Florida. Saturday night’s event will include six hours of live music, films and performance art. Sunday, curators, artists and arts administrators from around the country will present conversations about the state of the arts in South Florida.
“Rolando was a huge force in making the arts more alive,” said Debbie Coles-Dobay, Boynton Beach’s public art manager. “He’s very clever and very creative. He’s an excellent curator. He will look at the trends, meet many different artists, look at what’s happening in world and decide what will attract people.”
Rolando Chang Barrero makes the list! Visit activistartista.com, or follow him on Twitter, or Facebook. Rolando Chang Barrero is a South Florida native born in Coconut Grove. He has a BFA from the School of Art Institute of Chicago and also attended the Oxbow School of Art, Penland School of Crafts, and has participated in various internships with paper makers and filmmakers. Barrero’s newest work is a series of paintings that explore the relationship between childhood toys and gender, in which he takes a deeper look at toys and color assignments — the feminine vs. the masculine and whether color has any impact on the assignation of gender to toys. Barrero’s awards and accolades include the Ryerson Traveling Fellowship,New Times Best Art Walk 2013, and New Times Best Exhibition 2014. “I'm pretty much a subversive artist,” says Barrero. “I create really approachable, one can say, cute images that have really serious intellectual and political context.” Barrero has also created a plethora of programs to elevate the art scene in Palm Beach County, as he is director of the Boynton Beach Arts District, president of the Florida Arts Association and Art Synergy, and owner-curator of ActivistArtistA Gallery in Boynton Beach, The Rolando Chang Barrero Fine Art Gallery in Lake Worth, and a soon-to-be third gallery called the White Box Gallery in West Palm Beach. His work can be seen currently at Art Boca Raton,Tedds Art Works in Fort Lauderdale, and the Gallery at the Center for Creative Education.
