Details
Join SLOMA for an artist’s talk with Esteban Cabeza de Baca, whose exhibition, Memories of the Future, launches in the Gray Wing the same day.
In his work, Cabeza de Baca employs a broad range of painterly techniques, entwining layers of graffiti, landscape, and pre-Columbian pictographs in ways that confound Cartesian single-point perspective. His influences range from petroglyphs, from which many of his motifs derive, to Jackson Pollock, who, the artist notes, was in turn influenced by Navajo sand painting. “I want to excavate the impact of colonial acts like that,” he notes. “To go farther with the drip than Pollock did and collide the infinite with the everyday.”
Free and open to the public. RSVPs encouraged through SLOMA’s Eventbrite page.
