Press Release

Opening Reception with the Artist: Tuesday, September 15, 2015, 6-8 pm

Sicardi Gallery is pleased to present its second solo exhibition of work by Miguel Angel Ríos. The exhibition, Miguel Angel Ríos: Endless, opens with a reception from 6-8 pm, Tuesday, September 15. The artist will be present.

Known internationally for video installations which take the sociopolitical and geographic landscapes of the Americas as their conceptual and literal ground, Miguel Angel Ríos challenges notions of territory, consumption, immigration, and exchange. In this exhibition, he will show two new videos, Endless and Piedras Blancas (2015 and 2014), alongside the works on paper--photographs and drawings--that are an integral part of his creative process.
