Artside Lecture: Rimer Cardillo

This Artside Chat promises a conversation with a special guest focusing on Rimer Cardillo and the multi-site exhibition Deep Ecologies / Sacred Natures / Temporal Geographies. A leading voice in environmental art, Cardillo’s work spans more than five decades and reflects a sustained commitment to ecological consciousness, cultural preservation, and sacred symbolism. This conversation will explore the philosophical and visual frameworks of Cardillo’s practice—from his early printmaking in Uruguay to his sculptural installations that draw from reliquaries, altarpieces, and endangered ecologies. With reverence for land, memory, and spiritual continuity, Cardillo’s work invites us to reflect on our own entanglements with the natural world—and the urgent need to protect it. Free.
