POW!
María Magdalena Campos-Pons, a Cuban-born mixed-media artist now living in Boston, will give this year’s second College of Fine Arts school of visual arts Contemporary Perspectives Lecture tonight at the CFA Concert Hall, 855 Commonwealth Ave. The lecture begins at 6 p.m. and is free and open to the public.
Campos-Pons, the 2007 recipient of the DeCordova Museum and Sculpture Park’s Rappaport Prize, uses painting, sculpture, and photography to create work that explores themes of race, femininity, and her own experience as a Cuban exile. Her work has appeared in New York’s Museum of Modern Art, Minneapolis’s Walker Art Center, the Smithsonian, and the Venice Biennale. The Indianapolis Museum of Art is currently showing Everything Is Separated by Water, a midcareer retrospective of her sculptures, photos, and installations.
