Alejandro García Contreras:
¿Quien no ha intentado convertir una piedra en un recuerdo?

¿Quien no ha intentado convertir una piedra en un recuerdo?, or Who hasn't tried to turn a stone into a memory?, the first institutional solo exhibition by artist Alejandro García Contreras, explores the dichotomy between the ephemerality of human beings and the material objects that they leave behind.

Contreras asks, What defines us as individuals? Is it the things created and accumulated in life, or is it the memories of the soul? Do we keep anything with us in our transition to death? The result is is a meditative assemblage of concrete, ceramic, and ornamental sculptures and structures—many of which were cast on site during Contreras’ Summer 2024 residency at Pioneer Works.

Contreras will guide visitors through the exhibition as part of our Gallery Dialogues series during our
September Second Sundays program on September 6th.
