WorkSpace: Marcelo Pombo at Blanton Museum of Art

Blanton Museum of Art
Through February 22, 2009

Marcelo Pombo is one of the key figures to emerge from the 1990s art scene in Argentina. For the current WorkSpace, he presents six new paintings (2007–2008) that depict imaginary worlds. Around them he recreates a hotel lobby by introducing decorative ornaments and furniture into the museum's gallery.
