On the occasion of Ruben Ochoa’s exhibition SAMPLED y SURVEYED at Art + Practice, Los Angeles-based artist Analia Saban and independent curator Selene Preciado will discuss material and process, in relation to current conceptual practices of a younger generation of artists such as Ochoa and Saban. The conversation will address issues of materiality and present-day concerns in painting and sculpture. They will outline moments in conceptualism that since the 1960s have continued to subvert traditional ideas of the functionality of specific mediums, such as the capacity of medium itself to convey meaning through its loaded histories.
