11 a.m.
One of the most fascinating Latin American artists working today, Carlos Garaicoa joins SCAD architecture professor and influential practitioner Christian Sottile for a conversation on the power of architecture and the complexities of urbanism.
Garaicoa’s solo exhibition A City View from the Table of My House at the SCAD Museum of Art offers a holistic reflection on the fragility and beauty of the spaces in which we coexist. His multimedia works poignantly signal the ways in which more abstract phenomena like power and entropy affect the tangible universe like cities. Employing tables as substrates augmented with a range of media that serve as metaphors for the diversity and flexibility of urban space, as well as the dangers of it, Garaicoa considers not only the formal aspects of space, like volume, density, or shape, but also the immaterial, political, and historical bonds that constitute the notion of a city — even when they are problematic.
This event is open to the public. It is presented on the occasion of SCAD deFINE ART 2021, as part of the SCAD virtual series Guests and Gusto.
