Description: "In January of 2020, Logan Center Exhibitions presented a suite of newly commissioned works across photography, sculpture, and sound by visual artist Harold Mendez. Building on his process-based approach, Mendez uses Pre-Columbian ritual and memorial artifacts as a point of departure, evoking their function as both signifiers for and extensions of the human body. Transforming his material through a sequence of processes that include various imaging techniques such as digital scanning and three-dimensional printing, the artist's project speaks to the poetic connection between material matter, site, and memory. The accompanying publication for the exhibition-the first substantial monograph dedicated to his work-will be developed in close collaboration with the artist. Published by Logan Center Exhibitions, the publication features a foreword by director and curator Yesomi Umolu; a major contextualizing essay by scholar and curator Candice Hopkins; an interview with the artist; and a text by poet J. Michael Martinez. The resulting 124-page monograph will also include installation images from the exhibition at Logan Center Gallery"--
