Dario Robleto: The Poetry of PrismsPresented in partnership with the Mary and Leigh Block Museum of Art

Taking on subjects ranging from polar glaciers to time capsules, Robleto's work across sculpture, installation, and sound intertwine multiple histories, including those of human exploration in both outer and inner space. He has exhibited his work in museums and galleries across the United States, and his work, Defiant Gardens, is currently on view on campus in the Block Museum exhibition as part of the exhibition If You Remember, I Remember. He has served as visiting artist and lecturer at several colleges and universities including Bard College, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and the California College of the Arts. He was also the 2016 Texas State Artist Laureate, and serves as Artist in Residence in Neuroaesthetics at the University of Houston's Cullen College of Engineering. His talk will survey his transdisciplinary practice working with experts in various fields such as glaciologists, sound archeologists, neuroscientists and artificial heart researchers and engineers.
