A Video by Alfonso Lozano of me and my piece Uptown Visions at the Hispanic Society
During the summer months, the streets of Upper Manhattan come to life with music, games of pickup basketball, and infectious communal energy. In Uptown Visions, Tom Sanford draws on his experience as a longtime Upper Manhattan resident to offer a vibrant expression of the joy, rhythm, and layered experience of Uptown summer life. The work also pays tribute to Joaquín Sorolla’s monumental mural series Vision of Spain, which documents the people and customs of the Iberian Peninsula, and which has long inspired Sanford’s work. Coinciding with the 100th anniversary of the installation of the Vision of Spain, this project honors Sorolla’s legacy through a contemporary reflection that celebrates the Hispanic Society’s Uptown community.
