Guillermo Galindo takes found objects from along the border and uses them to create sound performances. The items for these instruments are all related to the displacement of people, a re-occurring activity which he explores in a number of ways. This sound represents "the voices of the invisible and removed; while their bodies are no longer present, their presence continues to be felt. "
We are all pretty aware of the border crossing activities but Galindo also explores the movement of indigenous people, for example how the American Indian was displaces by the original Spanish settlement of this same territory. We are told that future displays of his work will document botanical progressions as well.

This was my first in person viewing since March 2020 of any art work. I climbed to the top of the Lux property to have a look at the two sculptures which I had only viewed online up to now.
