“Directions: Mario Garcia Torres and Cyprien Gaillard”
“Directions: Mario Garcia Torres and Cyprien Gaillard”—Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Nov. 10 through March 27, 2011
Cyprien Gaillard (French, b. Paris, 1980) and Mario Garcia Torres (Mexican, b. Monclova, 1975) represent a new generation of conceptual artists who examine the architectural and artistic “ruins” of the recent past. Both investigate idealistic historical movements, raising the provocative question of whether the convictions and achievements of today’s artists, architects, and theorists will prove any more enduring than those of previous generations.
