Pepon Osorio provides an in-depth study of one of the leading installation artists working in the United States. Based in meaningful community collaboration, Osorio's installations employ ubiquitous material culture to explore how communities and individuals negotiate the legacy of colonialism and continued marginalization. The conceptual depth of his work finds its match in Jennifer Gonzalez, who teases out the many layers of Osorio's practice from his earliest stage-prop sculptures. Thoughtful and revealing, Pepon Osorio is a must read for scholars interested Latino, Puerto Rican, and installation art. --E. Carmen Ramos, Curator for Latino Art, Smithsonian American Art Museum
