Eye Lounge is pleased to introduce one of our new members: Memo Gutierrez (@omem_ ) šļøš«
Memo Gutierrez (b. 1986) is a multidisciplinary artist from El Paso, Texas who received his MFA at Arizona State University in 2022. Gutierrezās practice considers the value within everyday objects which are no longer considered relevant or usefulā gathering materials from alleyways, illegal dumpsites, and landfills. Working with these abandoned materials developed a sensitivity toward the untapped potential of the castaway. Together with the repurposing of physical waste, he salvages sonic waste to create sound assemblages using noise, field recordings, electro-magnetic frequencies, and homemade instruments. His work has been shown both nationally and internationally. He has received various awards including the International Sculpture Centerās Outstanding Student Achievement in Contemporary Sculpture in 2017. Guillermoās work is a part of the permanent collections of both the El Paso Museum of Art and the Rubin Center for Visual Arts. He currently lives and works in Tempe, Arizona.
