Hello friends and Santa Fe community-

It is time for the next art installation at The Lena Wall. This time it will be a series of large wheat pasted prints of drawings by Adrian Aguirre.

The installation will be where the jetsonorama installation was last year, facing Lena Street and Second Street. The 3 Sisters/Autumn Dawn Gomez is staying up.

Adrian Aguirre (b. 1980, Ciudad Juarez, Mexico) is a Mexican-American artist whose work focuses on the politics of immigration and the people caught in the middle. Adrian grew up on both sides of the El Paso/Juarez border, crossing the bridge daily to attend school. This experience influenced his perspective on borders and immigration. Adrian’s work consists of portraiture and representations of life as an immigrant or refugee. He has traveled to refugee camps, day labor sites and volunteered with immigrant organizations. Aguirre lives in Las Cruces, NM.

Funds raised here will be used for an artist honorarium, painting, printing and installation expenses, logistics and project administration, and project promotion.

Thanks!
