University of Richmond, Queally Center, Breed Pavilion A

Artists Guillermo Galindo and Richard Misrach present a lecture titled "Border Cantos: The Collaboration" about their exhibition "Border Cantos/Sonic Border," currently on view in the Harnett Museum of Art.

Guillermo Galindo and Richard Misrach collaborated on an amazing project from 2009-2015.  While photographing along the 2000 mile U.S.-Mexico Border, Misrach discovered and brought back multiple artifacts scattered across the desert. Guillermo transformed those objects into sculptures/instruments/symbols/concepts for contemplation and listening experience. 

Misrach states, "It was an extraordinary—I would even say magical—collaboration which succeeded in creating something greater and more meaningful than either of our individual efforts could have hoped for".

Lecture is presented in the Queally Center.

A reception and viewing of the exhibition follows the talk in the Harnett Museum in the Modlin Center.

Free and open to everyone!
