Join artist Eddie Rodolfo Aparicio and curator Anna Katz for a walkthrough of MOCA Focus: Eddie Rodolfo Aparicio. The exhibition marks the relaunch of the celebrated MOCA Focus series, which presents an artist's first solo museum show in Los Angeles and centers on new or discrete bodies of work.
MOCA Focus: Eddie Rodolfo Aparicio features artworks dating from 2016 to the present and debuts three new large-scale sculptures specially commissioned for The Geffen Contemporary at MOCA.
Eddie Rodolfo Aparicio (b. 1990) is a Los Angeles-based artist who combines natural materials such as rubber and amber with found clothing, street detritus, and ephemera to create large-scale sculptural archives of Salvadoran communities in Los Angeles that give form to experiences of diaspora, migration, and solidarity.
This program is organized by Justen Leroy, Director of Public Programs and Community Outreach, and Alitzah Oros, Public Programming Associate, The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles.
