He uses a variety of modern materials: plastics, steel, cement and recycled paper.

The artist will create this unique installation on site in the Arthur Ross Gallery at Penn using over a ton of recylced newspapers from which he will sculpt a tree trunk. Lagos and his assistnt will be artist(s)-in-residence in January 2010 on campus. Additional programs are planned with Jose Roca, curator of Philagrafika.

Upcoming Exhibition:April 10 – June 27, 2010

LAUGHING MATTERS: SOVIET PROPAGANDA IN KHRUSHCHEV’S THAW, 1956-1964

This exhibition offers a unique and thematically coherent sample of propaganda posters from the “Thaw,” a period of post-Stalinist liberalization during Nikita Khrushchev’s ascendancy (1956-1964). The exhibition illuminates the changes in political rhetoric and iconography at a time when the Soviet Union encouraged an unprecedented “warming-up” in all social and cultural spheres and struggled to define a new imagery of Soviet collective purpose.

April 10, 2010 Gallery Talk at 2:00 pm by Dr. Liliana Milkova and Masha Kowell, curators of the exhibition.

April 28, 2010Gallery Talk by Dr. Richard Hodges, Penn Museum’s Director at 5:30 pm to be held at the Arthur Ross Gallery Khruschev’s Fateful Visit to Albania, 50 Years On
