Members of the Aspen Art Museum are invited to join us from 5–7 PM for an exclusive preview and reception of Adrián Villar Rojas: First Gods, Lost Animals.
Running from July 2 to April 11, 2027, across two floors of the Museum, Adrián Villar Rojas: First Gods, Lost Animals will evoke both the geological and mythological formation of a cave. In Villar Rojas’s approach, the cave functions as a space of double accumulation: geologically shaped through eons of material deposition and mineral consolidation, and culturally layered with human projections, rituals, and symbolic activity.
