SCAD Museum of Art, Savannah, GA
Multimedia artist Damián Ortega’s Belo Horizonte Project, was featured in its entirety for the first time at the SCAD Museum of Art. Inspired by the Brazilian city of Belo Horizonte’s commitment to the marriage of urban and environmental conditions, this installation of highly polished stainless steel cubes references urban architecture’s ability to reflect and be reflective of the surrounding environment in which it is situated. Based in Mexico City and Berlin, Ortega is most well-known for his ability to breach assumptions of common objects and structures while simultaneously working with their inherent material properties.
