“Cities of the World, Real and Created” depicts cities and their people from around the world in photographs and multimedia works by artists from Italy, Mexico and Southern California. Two of the four artists featured in this exhibition provide a photographic view of cities in Asia, Africa, Europe and the Americas. The other two develop complex photographic and painted montages depicting the architecture and culture of cities in Europe and the United States. The show, sponsored by the Friends of the Fallbrook Library, opens on Friday, March 6 with a reception honoring the four artists.
The artist Stefano Fioresi lives and works in Modena, Italy. He has shown his work in Rome, Florence and other cities in Italy. He also has had solo shows in France and Spain and several books have been published featuring his art. From Fallbrook he travels to New York where his work now appears at the National Academy Museum. Here, he shows three sets of three multimedia montages entitled “Made in Italy”. These multilayered artworks start from photographic appropriations and bring to the senses the famous Italian cityscapes and products in a colorfully striking and unique style.
Kira Carillo Corser is a Fallbrook artist who produces multimedia collages similar to Fioresiʼs that start from photographic fragments. Ms. Corserʼs work has exhibited nationally in art galleries, museums, universities, national conferences, in 19 states, including capital buildings and in the U.S. Congress in Washington D.C. Her work has been in the Museum of Photographic Arts, San Diego; The Center for Creative Photography, Tucson, Arizona; The Ansell Adams Gallery, Friends of Photography in San Francisco and the Smithsonian in Washington D.C. She worked as Head of Still Photography for Public Broadcasting in San Diego for 10 years. Ms. Corser and poet Frances Payne Adler have collaborated in 4 major photography-poetry traveling exhibitions and on 3 books.
Carlos San Miguel is a photographer residing in Tijuana, Mexico. He has travelled the world photographing the sites and people in places like Beijing, Marrakesh, Paris and Havana. He has studied photography in San Diego, New Zealand, Iceland and Canada and for the past eight years has practiced photography as a serious undertaking. He has participated in many exhibitions in Mexico and California including solo shows in Tijuana, Ensenada, Valle de Guadalupe, Mexicali and Guanajuato. He has also had a solo show in Havana, Cuba.
Jose Aponte was born in New York City and raised by a single mom who loved the arts, travel, and people. As a youth, having lived in New York City, upstate New York, and traveling regularly to Puerto Rico, his influences were many: among them the Metropolitan Museum of Art - Salvador Dali, Pablo Picasso, Roberto Clemente; the New York
Yankees; and the Salsa music of the Fania All Stars.
Aponteʼs interest in the arts began as a student of fine art in Albany studying with Erica May Brooks. A complement of his work was chosen for the permanent collection of the London Junior Museum when he was ten. Mr. Aponteʼs life as a student and painter eventually morphed during high school into an interest in the performing arts and the theater.
After graduating from Bard College in NY, he worked off Broadway in the Living Theater at the Brooklyn Academy of Arts, with the original Living Theater Company under the direction of Judith Molina and Julian Beck. After two years in the theater, hungry for work in the arts and culture and a steady paycheck, he considered graduate school. The University of Arizona's seminal Graduate Library Institute for Spanish Speaking Americans proved too scintillating for him, a lifelong reader, to not give it a try.
His career in libraries began in Tucson where he met his wife of 35 years, Cynthia Reyes Aponte. Cynthia is a truly fine artist who has served as an inspiration for him and his two sons, Tony and Pablo, through her dedication to art, culture and equity.
Photography for Mr. Aponte is about building community bridges through personal story. The pictures speak to our common heritage and humanity in a world too often focused on our differences and happenstance of birth. The show represents the classics of Rome, and the sense of play in our humanity as demonstrated in Carnival in Venice, as well as the streets stories and profound strength and beauty of Latin America, most specifically in these pictures, Peru.

The reception on March 6 from 6:00-8:00 pm at the Fallbrook Library will feature small appetizers, music by David Regier on the Steve Allen piano, and the opportunity to meet the artists and discuss their art. The exhibit runs from March 6 to May 2. The library is located at 124 S. Mission Road in Fallbrook. For additional information please call 760-731-4651.
