Merging skater and graffiti subcultural styles, Maldonado demonstrates how such empowering mini-movements get branded for consumption. Her cloudy, playful, drippy graffiti style flows across gallery walls, skateboards and skate bags mounted thereon, a ramp installed in the space, and (via video) a recuperated skating bowl in her native Puerto Rico. The combination of media and locales underlines the adaptability of youth styles that resonate across regions and languages, and their congruent marketing potential. Closes 6/21.
