Current artist-in residence, Maximo Gonzalez, opens up his studio for a sneak peak at what he’s been working on.  Material Poems represents a new way of working for Art Center resident artist Ma¡ximo Gonzalez. In preparation for his residency, Gonzalez wrote poems to help generate ideas for the sculptures and installations he will create here. Using found objects from the city’s many flea markets and garage sales, Gonzalez sculptures address various topics ranging from childhood memories to international political problems. At this Open Studio event, Ma¡ximo will display his most recent set of works, and speak about his process and progress. Thursday, September 2 4-8pm, FREE
