Art Exhibit: Bodies of Bodies With Visiting Artist, Hector Boix
Tuesday, June 4, 2013
6:30 – 7:30 PM
Great Sophia Classroom, Sofia University
Please join us for an evening with artist Hector Boix, as he presents his latest work called “Bodies of Bodies.” This exhibit combines body expressive art with global consciousness, and explores the concept of how a singular whole is enriched by the differences of its individual parts.
Hector Boix is a Spanish international photographer with 20 years’ experience in countries including Spain, Mexico, the UK, USA, Morocco, and Colombia. In 1996, he co-founded Enlaire Audiovisuals in Valencia, Spain, an association for photo journalism which led him to document the Panama Canal handover. Earlier this year, he presented his work “Love Consumption,” as a social critique of modern day consumerism and commercialization. He is currently based in Colima, Mexico, where he has become a well-known photographer, exhibiting his art in museums across the state. For more information about Hector visit his website at www.hectorboix.com.
Fee: FREE – Presentation begins at 7:00PM. Refreshments will be served at 6:30 PM
