About this Event

Please join us on Saturday, November 7, from 12:30 to 2:00 PM at La Cometa Gallery for the launch of Material Memory by Liene Bosquê, presented in conjunction with her exhibition Vestigios. Bosquê will be in conversation with curator Ana Clara Silva, editor of the publication.

Material Memory is a monograph exploring the Brazilian-American artist’s multidisciplinary practice and its engagement with architecture, memory, place, and human presence. Spanning more than two decades, the book traces her exploration of built environments and the histories embedded within them. Essays by curators and scholars accompany more than 150 images documenting her artworks, exhibitions, and social practice.

The publication will be available for purchase. Free and open to the public.
