@ DePaul Art Museum
935 W Fullerton Ave, Chicago, IL 60614
Opening Wednesday, October 30th, from 6PM - 9PM
On view through Sunday, February 23rd
DePaul Art Museum invites you to join a special presentation and conversation with visiting artist Ana Gallardo. Gallardo will present on her artistic practice spanning over three decades in the form of an artist talk followed by an intimate conversation with DPAM curator, Ionit Behar.
Born in Argentina and working in Mexico City over the last decade, Ana Gallardo’s search as an artist and the vicissitudes of her private life have coexisted fully. She has dealt with different planes of violence as an artist and educator and is currently focusing on the violence of aging. Recent solo exhibitions include: “A delirium trembled here,” CA2M, Spain (2024) and MUAC, Mexico (2024); “Bitácora Guatemalteca (I am looking for you by another name) 1987/2022,” Julius Baer Award for Latin American Women artists, Museo de Arte Moderno, Bogota (2023), and “School of Aging,” Parque de la Memoria in Buenos Aires (2022).
Gallardo will be visiting Chicago as part of the 2024-15 Collaboration Cohort of the Lit & Luz Festival, a cultural exchange between writers and visual artists from Mexico and Chicago, taking place in Chicago from October 26-November 2.
Please note: Gallardo’s presentation and conversation with Behar will take place in Spanish. A live English translation will be provided for the audience.
Presented in partnership with the Lit & Luz Festival and with additional support from the Department of Art and Architecture at DePaul University.
