My work is about a continual investigation. —Hugo McCloud

Acclaimed artist Hugo McCloud’s work, Blue Zone, on view in MAG’s newly reimagined contemporary art galleries, features a laborer carrying a stack of boxes on his shoulder on a street of India. Exquisitely rendered with single-use plastic bags, the work is part of McCloud’s exploration of materials, processes, and subject matter.

Join us to hear the artist discuss his groundbreaking work and ever-evolving, prolific career. Timothy Peterson, MAG’s Ann and Irving Norry Curator of Contemporary Art, will lead the dialogue.

Hugo McCloud will be honored at this year’s MAG Gala as Outstanding Artist. Learn more about the artist and the event here.
