Oscar Tuazon debuts a new site-specific project for his first solo museum exhibition in Los Angeles.

 

The sculptor Oscar Tuazon works with natural and industrial materials to create inventive and often functional objects, structures, and installations that can be used, occupied, or otherwise engaged by viewers. With a strong interest in and influence from architecture and minimalism, Tuazon turns both disciplines on their heads as he mangles, twists, combines, and connects steel, glass, and concrete as well as two-by-fours, tree trunks, and found objects. For his Hammer Projects show, Tuazon will present a site-specific project displayed across several spaces throughout the museum, establishing and underscoring the relationships between inside and out, the visitors and the works, our bodies and the objects.

 

Hammer Projects: Oscar Tuazon is organized by Ali Subotnick, curator, with Emily Gonzalez-Jarrett, curatorial associate.
