Explore the new BAM exhibition Oscar Tuazon: Collaborator and enjoy a unique cooperative program with artist Oscar Tuazon and poet Cedar Sigo.
Having grown up together on the Suquamish Reservation of the Olympic Peninsula, poet and essayist Cedar Sigo and sculptor Oscar Tuazon enjoy a decades-long friendship rooted in their respective artistic practices and shared questions engaging art, politics, cultural heritage, and landscape. Past collaborations have included Sigo’s reading at the opening of solo exhibitions by Tuazon at Galerie Eva Presenhuber (Zurich) and T-Space (Rhinebeck, NY), among others, while also contributing an essay to I Can’t See, the first monograph to be published on Tuazon’s work (DoPe Press). A reading by Sigo will be followed by a conversation with both artists moderated by curator Fionn Meade.
