SUMMARY:Art Talk with Porfirio Gutiérrez
LOCATION:1251 Kearns Blvd · Kimball Art Center\, Park City\, UT
DESCRIPTION:About Join us for a special art talk with visiting artist\, P
 orfirio Gutiérrez\, whose work will be featured in Between the Lines. Po
 rfirio Gutiérrez is a Zapotec American textile artist based in Ventura\,
  California. He uses traditional Zapotec technology of dyes and material
 s and redefines Zapotec weaving language to create works that communicat
 es contemporary experiences and the complexity of the Americas today. Gu
 tiérrez's expertise is based on a family legacy of treadle loom weaving 
 and ancestral knowledge of his homeland\, its organic materials\, and th
 eir seasonal cycles that result in an unlimited palette of natural color
 s. He departs from traditional woven motifs in his compositions\, explor
 ing the boundaries of his own creative expression and distinct experienc
 es. Through his practice\, he asks us to rethink narrow definitions of c
 ontemporary art and Indigeneity. While in Zapotec there is no word for "
 artist" as an occupation\, there is a long-held concept of valuing those
  who hold wisdom within their community. Gutiérrez's interpretation of a
 ncestral weaving techniques and motifs opens a new dialogue in the impos
 ed dialectic of art versus craft\, which he sees as serving little purpo
 se in furthering contemporary Indigenous creative expression. Breaking w
 ith that tradition is where he finds ultimate freedom as an artist. An i
 nternationally known and exhibited artist\, Gutiérrez has taught materia
 ls and color at Harvard University\, and serves as Fellowships Advisory 
 for the Smithsonian. His work is in the collection of LACMA\, the Smiths
 onian's National Museum of the American Indian\, and the Tucson Museum o
 f Art. A selection of his dye materials was also documented and added to
  Harvard Art Museums' Forbes Pigment Collection\, the world-renowned arc
 hive of artist materials. In 2015\, he received the Smithsonian Institut
 ion's Artist in Leadership fellow\, in 2021 he received the Carolyn Glas
 oe Bailey Foundation Art Prize\, in 2023 he was the finalist for Frieze 
 Art Prize...\nThe catalog did not print a separate price.\nEnd time was
