DESCRIPTION:The team at the List Center will guide us through this exhibit\
 , the first solo exhibition by artist Pedro Gómez-Egaña. This in-person eve
 nt invites you to dive into the world of contemporary art and engage with t
 hought-provoking installations.\n\nWorking in sculpture\, performance\, vid
 eo\, and drawing\, Gómez-Egaña draws on practices of composition and choreo
 graphy to create dynamic constellations of objects and events in time. His 
 wide-ranging installations are arenas of motion and observation that also m
 ine historical intersections of technology and the occult\, the affective q
 ualities of objects and spaces\, and shifting economies of attention in con
 temporary society. In Virgo (2022)\, for example\, 28 modular walls create 
 set-like reproductions of various domestic interiors\, some of which repeat
  throughout the large-scale installation\, which taunts viewers with uncann
 y mise en abyme viewpoints. The work’s many walls are cut through on a diag
 onal that forms a path for visitors to move through its recursive architect
 ure\, bisecting some of the objects within the domestic scene\; "orchestrat
 ors" activate the work by pushing and pulling metal frames (and attached fu
 rniture) through precise gaps in the walls. Drawing on features of both arc
 hitecture and dramaturgy\, Gómez-Egaña layers modes of spatial and temporal
  dislocation and moments of intimacy and alienation to expose the porous an
 d unstable conditions of contemporary life.\n\nPedro Gómez-Egaña’s exhibiti
 on is organized by Natalie Bell\, Curator.\n\nPedro Gómez-Egaña (b. 1976\, 
 Bucaramanga\, Colombia) lives and works in Oslo\, Norway where he is profes
 sor of sculpture and installation at the Oslo National Academy of The Arts.
  He holds an MFA and PhD in Visual Arts from the Bergen National Academy of
