Jennifer Allora, Guillermo Calzadilla
Made over the course of a decade, Allora & Calzadilla’s videos Returning a Sound (2004), Under Discussion (2005) and Half Mast/Full Mast (2010) were shown together for the first time at Lisson Gallery, London. Each video addresses the complicated history of Vieques, an inhabited island off Puerto Rico that was used by the United States Navy as a bomb-testing range from 1941 until 2003.

Gloria

Lisa D. Freiman; Carrie Lambert-Beatty; Yates McKee; Indianapolis Museum of Art Staff (Contribution by)
The artistic collaborative of Jennifer Allora and Guillermo Calzadilla's exhibition at the Venice Biennale, titled Gloria, comprises six new works developed partly in response to the U.S. Pavilion site. Combining performance, sculpture, video, and sound elements, the works use poetic shock and unexpected juxtaposition to reflect upon competitive enterprises such as the Olympic Games, international commerce, the military industrial complex and even the Biennale itself.
