The University of Arizona Graduate and Alumni Gallery is proud to present Orlando Montenegro's "Fragments in the dark until the end of time."

In "Fragments in the dark until the end of time," Orlando Montenegro explores the challenge of painting with sound.

The lucidity of natural sound becomes the driving force to create his haunting and ominous opus. He alters, manipulates and reconstructs his daily aural environment to test the audience to move beyond sight and perceive the daily milieu through an auditory cacophony. “Like a house reconstructed from the stones of different ruins and functions, this abstract narrative calls attention to authorities of power and their practices within an outdated economy of nature.”

The composition of segments, layered and repeated, fills the gallery space with an anxious inquiry of what is normally “habit of mind” by disconnecting sound from sight.

Gallery hours are by appointment. Contact the artist at monteneg@email.arizona.edu or 720-266-5948.

The Graduate and Alumni Gallery is located in the
