Alberto Aguilar

For Alberto Aguilar, objects are artifacts of lived experience: things whose importance and meaning are derived from their social contexts and how we interact with them. They are also the building blocks of the artist’s archeological assemblages, cobbled from bits of found and personal items that correlate to moments in his own life. Thus, “a factual account,” an exhibition featuring the artist’s mixed-media constructions, text-based signs, sonic works, and a video, presented as much a biographical portrait as a topology of the everyday that reshapes our perceptions of the world.
