Visiting Artist: Alejandro Almanza Pereda

Alejandro Almanza Pereda makes sculptures that explore registers of risk that are generally unacknowledged in everyday encounters in cities like New York or Mexico City. Almanza Pereda perceives his sculptural environments as exacerbating viewers’ feelings of anxiety triggered by possibly unsafe spaces; as he contends, the “hope [is] to give the viewer an uneasy tension ... it is through this tension that the installation ceases to be static.”
