Heat things up with artist Cynthia Gutiérrez during a spectacular bronze pour

Join SCAD and Guadalajara-based artist Cynthia Gutiérrez at the ACA Sculpture Studio foundry for the fiery beauty of a bronze pour. Watch as molten metal is poured into molds and transformed into bronze sculpture. Gutiérrez will speak about her work and this project created in association with SCAD sculpture students. Visitors are also invited to tour the studio to learn more about the sculpture and industrial design programs at SCAD.

About the artist
Cynthia Gutiérrez’s work addresses the fissures that exist within memories and how these distortions create histories that exist somewhere between reality and fiction. Her work has been exhibited widely throughout the U.S., Mexico, and Europe. These exhibitions include Todos los siglos son un solo instante, La Tallera, Cuernavaca, Mexico; No para siempre en la tierra, Proyecto Paralelo, Mexico City, Mexico; Persisting Monuments, SCAD Museum of Art, Savannah; Viva Arte Viva, Venice Biennale, Italy; and a large-scale public project in Donetsk, Ukraine. In 2018, the artist was awarded a residency at the Museum of Contemporary Art Denver. She has a background in visual art from the University of Guadalajara, Mexico. Gutiérrez lives and works in Guadalajara, Mexico.

This event is free and open to the public. It is presented as part of SCAD deFINE ART 2020, the university’s annual program of exhibitions, lectures, and performances held Feb. 18–20 at locations in Atlanta and Savannah, Georgia.
