Join Albright-Knox Curatorial Assistant Jasmine Magaña for a discussion of the exhibition Matt Hoyt: Recent Past, 2010–2016.

The sculptures of Matt Hoyt often evoke improbable growths from the natural world: unknown seashells or bone fragments, barnacle accretions or twigs, stones, pits, fungi, rinds, and husks. For his first one-person museum exhibition, Hoyt has designed an installation of more than 100 objects and discrete sculptural groups that have been in development for the past six years.

Another gallery talk on Matt Hoyt: Recent Past, 2010–2016 will take place at 6 pm.
