Oscar Tuazon works with natural and industrial materials to create objects, structures, and installations that can be used, occupied, or otherwise engaged by viewers. With a strong interest and influence from architecture and minimalism, Tuazon turns both disciplines on its head as he mangles, twists, combines, and connects steel, glass, concrete, two-by-fours, tree trunks, burnt wood, and found objects. The artist produces objects and environments that draw out humanity’s relationship to buildings, interior and exterior spaces, and other objects and structures. Tuazon’s work has been exhibited in numerous institutional group exhibitions around the world, among them the 34th Bienal de São Paulo, São Paulo, Brazil (2021); Chicago Architecture Biennial, Chicago, IL (2019); Skulptur Projekte, Münster, Germany (2017); Documenta 14, Athens, Greece (2017); Triennale d’art contemporain de Beaufort, Ostend, Belgium (2015); Whitney Biennial, New York, NY (2012); and the Venice Biennale, Venice, Italy (2011).

At Residency Art Gallery, we celebrate contemporary artists that continue to make projects for their own communities.

Yet, often the stories are engulfed and misappropriated within the predominantly White, affluent and largely inaccessible art spaces in other regions of the city.

Relax! You'd happily wait 30 minutes for a glass of wine at Stir Crazy on a Wednesday night. You're at an art fair, poolside, ordering Negronis. Take it easy. Oh, there's Jerry.

Rod Stewart's Tonight's the Night (Gonna Be Alright) plays as we get an aerial view of the bar and the three friends receiving their drinks. The three clink their glasses and proceed to make their way away from the bar and towards the entrance of the fair.

Rod Stewart (V.O.)

Kick off your shoes and sit right down // Loosen off that pretty French gown // Let me pour you a good long drink // Oh, baby, don't you hesitate 'cause // Tonight's the night // It's gonna be alright

I'll catch up with you both in a bit. I forgot that I needed to find Dean. Charles from Charles Moffett had a question for him.

We see Mills walking in the other direction now and taking out his phone and making a call. The fair is now in full swing.
