Manchuria: Peripheral Vision—A Felipe Ehrenberg Retrospective is an exhibition of multimedia works created by Felipe Ehrenberg, one of Mexicos most influential and iconoclastic contemporary artists. This retrospective exhibition, presented for the first time to audiences in the United States, demonstrates the importance of Ehrenbergs contribution to a postmodern aesthetic of conceptual, performance, installation and video art from the 1960s to the present. The international touring exhibition of more than 200 works of art surveys Ehrenberg's rich body of work that crosses over decades, cultures and continents.

Manchuria: Peripheral Vision— A Felipe Ehrenberg Retrospective was organized by the Museo de Arte Moderno in Mexico City and curated by Fernando Llanos. The MOLAA presentation is co-curated with Senior Curator Cynthia MacMullin and is funded by the Robert Gumbiner Foundation, Verizon Wireless, Arts Council for Long Beach, City of Long Beach, Los Angeles County Arts Commission, Pasadena Art Alliance, La Secretaria de Relaciones Exteriores, México, the Consulate General of Mexico in Los Angeles and the MOLAA Annual Exhibition Fund. Media support is provided by ABC7, KCRW (89.9FM), La Opinion, LA Weekly, Los Angeles magazine and Telemundo.
