The Aldrich new exhibit Marginal Costs on view June 7 Written by The Aldrich
Marginal Costs, the first solo museum exhibition of New York-based artist Lucia Hierro (b. 1987).
Hierro’s practice, which includes sculpture, digital media, and installation, confronts twenty-first century capitalism through an intersectional lens. Appropriating imagery that ranges from commerce to art history, Hierro’s choices manifest her own multidimensional experience as a Dominican American artist raised in Washington Heights, and now based in Brooklyn.
Marginal Costs will be on view at The Aldrich June 7, 2021 through January 2, 2022. There is a Members-Only preview on June 6. Learn more here.
