Exhibition Abstract
What happens, always happens now. Presenting evidence of "now" requires "screening out" a mass of substantial spectacles. In this multi-channel video installation, the screen is not only a visual pun but also a supplemental, uneasy device for relationship building: the viewer becomes a factor in the selective interpretive journey—an unintentional audio-visual reconstruction of everyday life moments presented with no obvious hierarchies.

Exhibitor Biography
Adrian Aguilera (M.F.A. '25) was born in Mexico's industrial capital of Monterrey. Aguilera immigrated as a young adult to the U.S., where he settled in Austin, Texas, in the early 2010s. He received his B.F.A. in 2004 from The Autonomous University of Nuevo Leon, Mexico, and works with a variety of mediums that include sculpture, text-based work, print media, video, public art, and installations. With an interest in scientific observation, cultural history, and social issues, Aguilera's work explores our relationship with the physical and cultural spaces in which we coexist.
