The Power Station Exhibition Opening Vojtech Kovarík + Picnic Curatorial Projects: Miguel Sbatida, Future Reefs

6:00 pm - 10:00 pm
The Power Station, 3816 Commerce St, Dallas, TX 75226

In this edition of the unofficial art fair kick-off party, The Power Station opens two new exhibitions; Vojtech Kovarík (organized by Rob Teeters), and Miguel Sbatida, Future Reefs, (organized by Picnic Curatorial Projects). For Czech artist, Vojtech Kovarík, iconography, and mythology are fundamental to his work. His large-format, forceful, and vividly colored compositions result in impactful paintings that evoke the strength of sculpture. Figures from Greek mythology, as well as pop culture references, appear in Kovarík’s paintings, fully embracing figuration. His interest in Greek mythology comes from its importance in the European cultural collective unconscious but subverts its meaning by reconstructing its most prominent characters. For Miguel Sbatida (b. Madrid, Spain) Future Reefs is the latest chapter in an ongoing research project connected to the postnatural ecologies of coral reefs, and the sophisticated technologies being implemented at oceanic restoration sites, to accelerate the coral’s adaptation to the changing climate. The exhibition looks closely at the technique of acoustic enrichment, through a series of sculptural sound-based works that invite the viewer to experience the language of coral creatures and the fading voice of a soundscape predicted to disappear within the next century.

Jed Morse in Conversation with Gabriel Rico

11:00 am - 12:00 pm
Nasher Sculpture Center, 2001 Flora St, Dallas, TX 75201

A continuation of a virtual discussion which began in April 2021, the Nasher Sculpture Center is pleased to welcome Guadalajara-based artist Gabriel Rico for an in-person artist talk. Rico, who will be in town for a residency at the Augustus Owen Foundation, joins Nasher Sculpture Center’s Chief Curator Jed Morse for a conversation covering the artist’s practice. 

Drawing on his degree in architecture and interests in science and philosophy, Gabriel Rico combines found, collected, and manufactured materials to create sculptures that reflect on the relationship between humans and the natural environment. He frequently uses neon, taxidermy, ceramics, branches, and objects of more personal significance to create installations and wall-mounted sculptures in seemingly absurdist scenarios or equations that nonetheless suggest causes and effects, as well as a need for balance. Often lyrical and humorous, his installations combine natural and unnatural forms that explore concepts of symmetry and asymmetry and highlight cultural and political foibles.
 
Rico’s work has been featured in a number of important museum exhibitions and international surveys in Mexico, Europe, and the United States, including solo presentations at the Aspen Art Museum and MAZ Museo de Arte de Zapopan, Mexico. His work was also featured in May You Live in Interesting Times, the 58th Venice Biennial in 2019. Several prominent museums, such as the Pérez Art Museum in Miami, the Voorlinden Museum in The Netherlands, and MASIN (Museo de Arte de Sinaloa) in Culiacan, Mexico, have acquired his work. Rico is represented by Perrotin Gallery and lives and works in Guadalajara, Mexico

When You See Me features nearly 60 works by a diverse, intergenerational group of 50 artists who contend with visibility both socially and formally. Their works explore invisibility, hypervisibility, the desire to be seen, and the right to be private.
