Join us for Sheol: An Installation by Lauren Ruiz, artist talk and opening on Tuesday, June 6th from 5:30pm to 7:30pm.

In her solo exhibition at the Museum of the Southwest, Lauren Ruiz explores themes and variations concerning interiority: subterranean interiors of the earth (oil, water, human and animal remains); interiors of religious systems (ritual, power, tradition); and interiors of the human body (mutation, decay, birth, violation). She investigates commonalities between these internal systems, their shared duration over time, and the external forces which act upon them - what is buried and kept, and what is mined, extracted, or taken.

Free for museum members with light refreshments provided.

Please RSVP before June 05, 2023.
