黑料不打烊

An Instinct Toward Life features work by Houston based artist Dario Robleto that confronts the experience of war from multiple perspectives. His sculptures are comprised of a wide range of materials exploring the traumatic repercussions of the battle and the home fronts, including bullet lead, bone dust from every bone in the body, and paper pulp made from sweetheart letters written by soldiers who did not return home from war. Robletos works narrate the collective experiences of particular groups such as veterans, war widows and medical corps personnel. Dario Robleto: An Instinct Toward Life includes over 15 works, including a new sculpture, Defiant Gardens, created specifically for this exhibition. MCA Denver is collaborating with Regis Universitys Center for the Study of War Experience to connect veterans associations with the museum for a series of programs that will address the legacy of war and provide a forum for discussing the profundity of the experience that these works introduce.

Dario Robleto: An Instinct Toward Life will be presented in the David & Laura Merage Foundation Gallery and the Lu & Chris Law Gallery from February 4, 2011 through May 15, 2011. The opening celebration will be held Friday, February 4. A catalog with essays by curator Nora Burnett Abrams and historian Nathan Matlock will accompany the exhibition.
