Pepón Osorio, Artist Lecture Wednesday, October 30 – 7:30 p.m. Ware Center - Lancaster Free, ticket reservations required Pepón Osorio, best known for large-scale installations, was born in Santurce, Puerto Rico. Osorio’s pieces, influenced by his experience as a social worker in the Bronx, usually evolve from an interaction with the community within which he is working. He says, “My principal commitment as an artist is to return art to the community.” Osorio has worked with more than 25 communities across the U.S. and internationally, creating installations based on real life experiences. By presenting work in unconventional places as well as museums, the artist explores the multiple meanings his installations achieve at each specific location. Merging conceptual art and community, his work emphasizes the exhibition space as an intermediary between the social architecture of communities and the mainstream art world. Osorio is a professor at Temple University’s Tyler School of the Arts. His work has appeared in El Museo del Barrio, New York (a retrospective); Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts; Whitney Biennial at Whitney Museum of American Art, NYC; Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, San Francisco; Museum of American Art, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C.; Sao Paulo Bienal, Sao Paulo, Brazil and storefronts, department stores and homes in many locations throughout the world. He is the recipient of numerous distinctions including the 2001 Skowhegan Medal for Sculpture, the Whitney Biennial, 1993; an Alpert Award in the Arts-Visual Arts, 1999; and a John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation Fellowship. FLEX PASS – Receive a 15% discount when you mix and match 5 starred events.
