I Was Wrong about Alberto Aguilar
Manage episode 374317965 series 2280960
I thought I had Artist Alberto Aguilar all figured out, and I was wrong. LOL, I mean, not at all.
Alberto Aguilar is a Chicago-based artist who works wherever he is, with whatever material is at hand, collaborating with whoever is near. It's a way of living and making that allows him to be more present in all his roles. He teaches at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and the University of Illinois in Chicago, regularly exchanging with his students. He runs Mayfield, an independent art space from his home/studio, with his daughter and fellow artist, Madeleine Aguilar. He has exhibited at museums, street corners, highway rest stops, storefronts, galleries, and people's homes worldwide.
In this special episode, I speak to Alberto Aguilar about his art practice and his family, and Alberto gives me some advice too.
Suppose you are reading this in August of 2023. In that case, Alberto will be on residency at the Visual Arts Center of Richmond, where he will have a house and produce work for an upcoming traveling group exhibition titled Self Adjacent. In September, I will have a solo exhibition/project at Centro Romero, a community-based organization that serves the refugee immigrant population on the northeast side of Chicago.
Yall, Alberto is booked and busy. I appreciated how open he was about his process, family, and art world dreams, and I hope you will enjoy this conversation with him.
