Local artists Armando Lerma and Carlos Ramirez, aka The Date Farmers, create an original installation in Zone 101 in the Hoover Gallery this summer as part of the museum's annual Artist in Residence program.
Since 2002, Lerma and Ramirez have created collaborative artworks that layer recovered objects, paint, industrial materials and more with pop culture references from both sides of the border. They most recently exhibited their work this past spring at the Jonathan Levine Gallery in New York City.
In conjunction with Museum Art Camp, the Artist in Residence program gives camp participants the opportunity to meet and observe working artists as they create a site-specific installation at the museum.
