Concept
Join Curator Larry Ossei-Mensah and artist Hugo McCloud on a journey through the impact of our surroundings on the artistic practice and the use of under-appreciated materials to elicit and investigate notions of beauty. Topics concerning the economics of labor, geopolitics and the environmental impact of the materials McCloud employs in his work will be explored, as well as the work of other artists who engage in this vital conversation. Participants will be led through interactive art-making exercises to explore some of these unconventional materials.
