Artist Talk with Israel Martínez

A conversation between Mexico City-based curator Esteban King and Mexico City-based artist Israel Martínez around Israel’s art practice which involves the use of sound, text, video, and action and interventions in public space as a medium for social and political critique as well as his use of stealth as a pertinent communicational tool.

In partnership with the Department of Visual Art’s Open Practice Committee at the University of Chicago

The festival’s closing event is on Saturday, October 19, when the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago partners to present the Live Magazine Show from 6-8pm.
