Rescheduled GAPP Lecture Maria Davila & Eduardo Portillo
Friday, February 14 | 5:00–6:00p.m. | GlasSalon
 
Join us for a free artist talk with internationally renowned glass artists Eduardo Portillo and Maria Davila. Learn about their creative process, inspiration, and GAPP residency at the Toledo Museum of Art Glass Studios.
 
María Dávila and Eduardo Portillo are artists who use fiber as their main medium of expression. Their work revolves around the interconnectedness of their experiences with people, places, and landscapes, as well as the materials and processes that bear the imprint of their searches. Their educations in China and India have been crucial for their approach to their work that has been exhibited internationally. Their work is part of public and private collections worldwide, including the Whitworth Art Gallery, UK; Longhouse Reserve, NY; the Cooper Hewitt; Smithsonian Design Museum, NY; the Toledo Museum of Art, OH; and the Art Institute of Chicago. They received the Smithsonian Artist Research Fellowship in 2017. In recent years they have been working on an imagined cosmos that they found in the mountains of Mérida, a part of the Venezuelan Andes, where they live.
