EXHIBITION TOUR: "Rimer Cardillo: DEEP ECOLOGY" @ Art Project 605 (+ Various Locations)

2025

RIMER CARDILLO

DEEP ECOLOGY

Resistant Allusions

an exhibition in partnership with Plains Art Museum, Fargo, North Dakota

Few artists today embody the urgent call of environmentalism as powerfully as Rimer Cardillo.

The Uruguayan-American artist has spent over fifty years building a body of work that mourns, warns and ultimately inspires. His art connects directly to the idea of Deep Ecology, a philosophy that insists we can no longer separate human survival from the survival of all living things.

For Cardillo, this is no abstract theory. His work traces a lineage from the genocide of Indigenous peoples to the extinction of plants and animals, as well as the destruction of earth's ecosystems. It is a continuum of loss, but also a call to recognize that all life is interconnected. Since his student days in Uruguay during the late 1960s, Cardillo has used his art to memorialize what has vanished and warn of what could still disappear. The result is a haunting, beautiful and deeply ethical visual language.

Resistant Allusions, on view at Art Project 605, is Cardillo’s most recent body of work, 26 digital color photographs with woodcut, silkscreen, and drawing.

Deep Ecology unfolds across four partner institutions in eastern North Dakota and western Minnesota. Audiences are encouraged to visit all four exhibitions, each offering a distinct lens on Cardillo's career.

WEEKEND WORKSHOP (16+): "Color Theory with Acrylics" @ Holmes Art Studio, Detroit Lakes

EVENT LINK: https://www.dlccc.org/artcellar/

FEE: $155— Pre Registration Required

Color Theory with Acrylics: Weekend Workshop (16+)

February 28, 10 AM - 4 PM

This will be a full-day workshop designed to deepen your understanding and use of color. In the morning session (10:00 AM–noon), we’ll dive into the essentials of color theory—exploring the color wheel, mixing strategies, harmonious and contrasting combinations, and how artists use color to create mood, balance, and focus.

After a break for lunch, the afternoon (1:00–4:00 PM) will be hands-on as we put theory into practice. You’ll create an acrylic painting that incorporates the concepts we studied in the morning, giving you both technical knowledge and artwork to take home.

This workshop is good for beginners who want to gain confidence in mixing colors, as well as more experienced artists who want to sharpen their eye and expand their palette.

Participants will need to provide their own supplies. Supply list coming soon.
