MOAD will host Miami-based artist Gonzalo Hernandez for an artist residency at Miami Dade College\u2019s Padr\u00f3n Campus. Throughout the summer term, Hernandez will create new work and engage with students and other campus groups. Hernandez\u2019s practice reveals personal narratives, institutional tensions, and broader ideas about belonging and place.<\/p>\n
MOAD is proud to offer artists resources, support, and space to create in Miami. This artist residency will also invite the public to step into the studio and observe and interact with the artist at work, promoting conversations about process, multidisciplinary artmaking, and the role of the artist within learning institutions.<\/p>\n
\nGonzalo Hernandez’s work has been exhibited at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Georgia; SCAD Museum of Art Savannah, Georgia; Laundromat Art Space, Locust Projects, and Mindy Solomon Gallery, Miami; LVL3, Chicago; and in Buenos Aires, Lima, and Santo Domingo, among other cities. The artist is represented by Vigil Gonzales and Kates-Ferri Projects.<\/p>\n
In the artist\u2019s own words:<\/strong><\/p>\n Pulling from autobiographical sources, my installations, sculpture, painting, photography, and film are very specific to my perspective as an immigrant while also addressing broader cultural concerns. As I seek to blur the line between art and life, every subject and material can be included in my work, no matter how quotidian. From the mounds of cardboard found on the factory floors of past employment which become relief sculptures, or the shopping lists quickly scribbled onto my hand that I photograph and reuse in my practice, I find truth and meaning in the overlooked. Daily encounters with text, language, and material become fodder for symbolic interpretations.<\/p>\n MOAD’s programs are made possible with the support of the Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs and the Cultural Affairs Council, the Miami-Dade County Mayor, and Board of County Commissioners. They are sponsored in part by the State of Florida through the Division of Arts and Culture, and with generous support from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation. The Miami Herald is a media sponsor of MOAD’s programming.<\/p>\n Image: Dentro de mi coraz\u00f3n hay otro coraz\u00f3n que sue\u00f1a, creo que ese coraz\u00f3n es mi verdadero coraz\u00f3n_LH, <\/em>2024.
