ASPEN, CO.- The Aspen Art Museum presents Tonico Lemos Auad, on view through April 15, 2007. Brazilian-born, London-based artist Tonico Lemos Auad creates work with a very light touch. His mediums are intensely ethereal: spaghetti-thin gold chain necklaces, colored jewels, bananas, carpet lint and Amazonian and albino crabs. By drawing on the floor with a cascading pool of chain, or placing nearly invisible gemstones in circles, L shapes, and diagonal lines on an otherwise blank white wall, the artist engages the viewers eye in formal exercises as well as forcing a closer reading of the work in order to see. For the Aspen Art Museum presentation of Auads work, his first one-person exhibition in the United States, the artist will create a new site-related work that incorporates organic materials.
Tonico Lemos Auad received his MFA from Goldsmiths College, London, in 2000. His work was included in Material Matters, Cornell University, Ithaca, New York, 2005, and Adaptive Behavior, New Museum of Contemporary Art, New York, 2004. He was shortlisted for the Becks Futures Prize in 2004 and was included in the 2005 Yokohama Triennale. The exhibition will be accompanied by a fully-illustrated catalogue produced in collaboration with the artist. Organized by the Aspen Art Museum. Funded in part by the AAM National Council. Publications underwritten by the AAM Publications Fund.
