Gabriel Rico is the first artist-in-residence for the new GDL>PHX Residencias Artísticas program (organized by CALA Alliance, ASU Art Museum and Programa Anual de Open Studios), where artists from both cities are chosen to develop new work in Guadalajara, Mexico and Phoenix, Arizona. For his first museum exhibition in the United Sates, “Dead, Dead, Live, Dead,” Rico will create an installation of new works using materials such as taxidermy animals, neon and found natural objects to address the relationship between nature, architecture and the future ruins of civilization.
Supported by CALA Alliance and ASU Art Museum Artist Residency.
Visit the museum website for directions and hours and information about bringing classes to tour exhibitions or meet with curators.
