The Hungtinton Art Museum Presents Borderlands with Enrique Martinez-Celaya. –There-bound (2021) by Enrique Martínez Celaya, in the Virginia Steele Scott Galleries of American Art at The Huntington. Martínez Celaya’s There-bound is painted inside the massive glass façade of the Scott Galleries’ north entrance. It depicts various kinds of migratory birds winging across the building’s front windows. Martínez Celaya’s project, like the exhibition as a whole, seeks to place the inside of the galleries in dialogue with the famous landscapes and living collections at The Huntington. The glassed-in lobby and loggia exude a chapel-like effect when the work is illuminated by sunlight. Martínez Celaya has also designed handmade seating for the space that will invite visitors to linger and enjoy the view of the garden and the San Gabriel Mountains beyond.
