Join Black Cube for a special workshop led by Mexico City-based artist and Black Cube Artist Fellow, Anuar Maauad. Participants are invited to create small figures using air-dry clay, a material that has informed the artist’s ongoing body of work and most recent exhibition at GAVLAK Gallery in Los Angeles. All materials will be supplied, and the sculptures made by participants will become a part of Maauad’s sculptural archive.

Additionally, those who participated in Maauad’s 2019 city-wide Black Cube project in Denver, SHARE, are welcome to meet the artist and pick up their custom storage box and certificate of authenticity. SHARE is series of 100 bronze, sculptural text installations that were gifted to the public and displayed on building facades throughout the city, as a token of generosity to the community. Each work reads “To share is precious, pure, and fair” and several remain on view at dispersed locations in the Denver area.
