RISD Business: Sassy Signs and Sculptures by Alejandro Diaz

Have your photo taken with a life-size model of the artist’s aunt, receive a free toaster* with every new Museum membership, and visit the Diaz Art Foundation in this exhibition of recent works.

Ranging from quaint stereotypes of Mexican identity to current socio-economic and art-world commentary, Alejandro Diaz’s text-based works and installations use language as a form of cultural critique and resistance. Conceptual and campy, his humor-infused politics and use of everyday materials are emblematic of his ongoing involvement with art as a form of entertainment, activism, public intervention, and free enterprise.

The exhibition also features Diaz’s iconic series of cardboard signs, which the artist will make and sell only on opening night, November 15, for an unbeatable $20 each.
