Curator Tour: “A System In Place”
November 17 @ 4:00 pm – 5:30 pm
In Dialogue with Ramón Bonilla
Join curator and artist Ramón Bonilla on a tour of A System In Place: In Dialogue with Sol LeWitt, on view at the Vicki Myhren Gallery through November 20.
Ramón Bonilla is an artist and curator born in San Juan, Puerto Rico, who currently lives and works in New York. Working through geometry and reduction, Bonilla’s artwork is conceived through accumulated observation, thinking, and making do. His wall drawings extend this approach into physical space, beginning with a grid and then working against it until something else emerges. For Bonilla, working with found, repurposed, or available materials rather than purpose-built ones is not just a formal choice; it mirrors a reality of working with what you have, when you have time.
His piece Ordinary Magic––currently on view at the Vicki Myhren Gallery––exemplifies this approach by incorporating materials found outside while walking during a lunch break. The installation process began with a neat and orderly grid on the wall and through creative reductions and additions, resulted in a complex and dynamic construction.
Free parking will be available in Lot L across the street from the gallery. Attendants will be at the lot from 3:30 to 4:30 PM.
