Join artist Max Sarmiento and Curator of Visual Arts Rachel Raphaela Gugelberger in conversation about Sarmiento’s site-specific installation in the Sunroom, where dioramas, sculptures, and a stage set create the blueprint for a folkloric performance on identity and grief. Sarmiento is one of Wave Hill’s two 2023 New York Community Trust Van Lier Fellows.

“Meet the Artist” is an ongoing series of conversations between exhibiting artists and curatorial team members at Wave Hill. The program provides an opportunity for Wave Hill visitors, the artist’s community and others to learn more about an artist’s creative process and the themes that shape their work.

Join us on the final day of the Sunroom Project Space exhibitions—Por El Amor al Circo (For the Love of the Circus) and wait in the garden—for a conversation between exhibiting artists Max Benjamin Sarmiento and Jill Cohen-Nuñez and Curator of Visual Arts, Rachel Raphaela Gugelberger. Their conversation will center on each artist’s research and exhibition development, how the energy of Wave Hill informed their site-responsive exhibitions and their shared and disparate themes and materials. Cohen-Nuñez will activate their sound garden and Sarmiento will perform with figurines, the central characters of his story about a family circus. Jill Cohen-Nuñez and Max Benjamin Sarmiento are 2023 New York Community Trust Van Lier Fellows at Wave Hill.
