APLACADOS
SEPTEMBER 21 – OCTOBER 20  Through his
work, Aplacados: entre cascos percutidos
y bardas, artist Miguel Aragón continues
his exploration of trying to capture and
freeze a specific moment—the marks of
time—conveying the transitory nature
of memory, reflecting on the process of
recollection, and fading memory, and
alluding to the transitory nature of human
existence. SNAP Gallery, 10123-121 St.
