Artist Fran Ilich will speak about his current public project Aridoamérica: Winter Plan, within the larger context of his practice. Commissioned by ISCP, Aridoamérica is currently on view at El Museo de Los Sures. Ilich will converse with project curator Juliana Cope, followed by Q&A and reception.
Fran Ilich (born 1975 in Tijuana, Mexico) is a media artist, essayist and novelist based in New York City. He has participated in ARCO, Madrid; Berlinale Talent Campus; Documenta 12, Kassel; Transmediale, Berlin; How Latitudes Become Forms, Walker Art Center, Minneapolis and the Festival Mundial de la Digna Rabia, Mexico City.
