Join us for a conversation with artists Eduardo and Juca Aquino who explore the beauty and unexpected possibilities of everyday objects.
Using found materials, urban debris, old posters, tools, and layers of paint they transform the overlooked into compelling art.
This Art Talk will explore how arbitrary chance, creativity, and careful selection shape their work.
Also, how the unpredictable can become something else when we simply see it openly and imaginatively.
Moderated by Susan Freig.
