Today, November 18th, we welcome bicoastal interdisciplinary artist, Sherwin Rio to participate in a research residency. Rio splits his time between San Francisco and New York. For his exhibition at 500 Capp Street (opening December 3rd), Rio is inspired by Ireland’s affinity for enclosure, particularly his deep interest in the House’s basement, a space Ireland called “The Grotto” where he sourced dirt for his work and spent many hours in solitude. Rio explores concepts connected to boundlesness, atemporality, and exposure. @sherwin.rio
