UIC Gallery 400 40th anniversary (14/44)

Notes


As part of the exchange, this work was made for a Havana exhibition that was repeatedly postponed as the result of Cuban Decree 349, which censors cultural events. Aguilar modeled the image’s broken forms on the outlines of Chicago and Havana. 

Alberto Aguilar is a Chicago-based artist who uses whatever material is at hand in an attempt to make a meaningful connection with the viewer. He does not distinguish his art practice from his other various life roles which allows him to make work wherever he is. He has shown and presented his work at various museums, galleries, storefronts, homes, and street corners around the world. UIC Gallery 400 presented his large-scale solo exhibition Alberto Aguilar, moves on human scale in 2019.
