Cayetano Ferrer: Eight Corners
Opening Reception: Friday, September 7, 6-9:00 PM
On View: September 7-October 13, 2007
Artist Talk: Tuesday October 2, 2007
Cayetano Ferrer uses existing forms in order to engage in a dialog about the constant flux of the built, contemporary environment. Using inkjet prints on existing objects/architecture that reveal what these objects ultimately obscure, Ferrer exposes the relationship between the built and the rebuilt, surface and hidden, as well as the delicate matter of history and memory as the present paves over the resent past in a bid to enrich economies. Ferrer's work is a gentle push/pull between permanence and obsolescence, inviting consideration of evolution, mutation and modification in our relationship to our immediate environment.
Cayetano Ferrer is a graduate of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Select exhibitions include "FAST-Future of Art, Science and Technology," in Daejeon, Korea, at the Daejon Museum of Art; in Brooklyn New York at 78 Dikeman Street; in London, England at i-cabin; in Chicago, IL at the Plaines Project; and in Oakland, CA at Lobot where he completed a residency in 2006. Ferrer was the recipient of The Union League Civic and Arts Foundation Visual Arts Award in 2006, a Worldstudio Foundation scholarship in 2004 and the merit scholarship at the Art Institute of Chicago in 2003.
