ABOUT THE ARTISTS
Visitor Center is delighted to present The Dog That Ate the Birthday Cake, a radically intimate dialogue exhibition showcasing works by Daniel Giordano and Karlos Cárcamo.
Hudson Valley-based artists Giordano and Cárcamo invite viewers into a mesmerizing realm of visual juxtaposition where Giordano’s breathtaking, iconoclastic, chimera-like assemblages harmoniously intertwine with Cárcamo's deceptively serene yet complex Kase Painting series. Although their styles may appear distinct and conflicting at first glance, Giordano and Cárcamo are multidisciplinary artists whose work touches on themes that incorporate high and low cultural references, art history, and urban culture.
Giordano and Cárcamo's contributions to the exhibition showcase their profound artistic visions and ability to challenge conventional boundaries. The exhibition showcases a range of works by both artists, including new pieces created specifically for the show. Visitors can expect to encounter Giordano's large-scale sculptures, which evoke the familial and cultural histories of the Hudson Valley, alongside Cárcamo's meticulously crafted Kase Paintings, which explore the intersections of urban culture and modernism.
Together, the works create a dialogue that reflects the artists' commitment to innovation, experimentation, imagination, and collaboration.

Eric Booker
Eric Booker is Associate Curator at Storm King Art Center, a 500-acre outdoor museum located in New York’s Hudson Valley. Previously he held the position of Assistant Curator & Exhibition Coordinator at The Studio Museum in Harlem. Committed to working alongside artists of diverse backgrounds and with underrecognized histories, he has cultivated ambitious projects through critical research, collaboration, and care. As part of his ongoing work to center artists challenging dominant histories and institutional structures, his first book, Smokehouse Associates, brings the underrecognized work of the artist collective formed by William T. Williams to the fore. Published by the Studio Museum and distributed by Yale University Press, Smokehouse Associates was named one of the “Best Art Books of 2022” by The New York Times. Booker received a Graham Foundation Grant for the project in 2019.
