Brian Maguire: Portraits—The Failure of the State
Opening and Artist Talk
Join us to celebrate Brian Maguire's work with an artist talk, followed by a reception in the Devlin Café.
Portraits—The Failure of the State presents painter Brian Maguire’s portraits from three bodies of work that investigate the catastrophic impact of systemic violence without justice in Montana, United States; Bentiu, South Sudan; and Ciudad Juárez, Mexico. Maguire is an artist who looks outward, beyond the studio, engaging with the world and working in close dialogue with the families and communities of those erased, displaced, and forgotten by the failure of state institutions to serve and protect. Portraiture is at the heart of his practice: each work is an act of turning towards a person, their family, and community, spending time and bearing witness where justice is absent.
The artist talk begins at 6pm in the J.L. Greene Theater, with a reception in the Devlin Café to follow.
