In conversation: Manuel Aguilar-Moreno, Karyn Craven and Diana Nawi
L.A. Louver will host a conversation between curator Diana Nawi, art historian Manuel Aguilar-Moreno, Ph.D., and director of the Luis Bermudez Estate Karyn Craven, which will examine and celebrate the life and work of Luis Bermudez (1953-2021).
This event will take place in the context of L.A. Louver's presentation of Luis Bermudez: Sobre La Vida (27 March - 11 May 2024), a survey exhibition of sculptures dating from the 1980s through the mid 2010s and which includes Bermudez's immersive, room-sized magnum opus Sobre La Vida (1993-1994).
The conversation will center on themes in Bermudez's artwork as expressed through the specialized materiality, provoked phenomenology, implied philosophy, and visual motifs drawn from the artist's Mesoamerican ancestry.
The discussion will begin at 7 p.m. Early arrival is strongly recommended, complimentary parking is available across the street from the gallery.
