Marking Presence with Alejandro Tamayo

Time and Date: Thursday, January 16, 7:30pm-8pm

Location: Art Windsor-Essex, 2nd floor galleries

Cost: This event is part of AWE at Night. Admission to AWE at Night is $20 and free for current AWE members.

Join artist Alejandro Tamayo in this interactive activity. Choose a lid from a collection, trace its shape on the gallery wall, and attach the lid with museum wax. You can add your name, date, and time.  

As more visitors take part, the wall transforms from a blank canvas into a layered composition of circles and lids, reflecting the collective presence of participants. 

This activity explores transformation over time, turning the gallery into a shared, personal space shaped by simple actions and connections.

Alejandro Tamayo (b. 1973, Medellín)

Colombian/Canadian Visual Artist, Writer, and Arts Administrator Alejandro Tamayo’s multidisciplinary installation work spans sculpture, drawing, painting, and public engagement. Through his practice, he explores concepts of time, space, and language. His intuitive process involves collecting, sorting, grouping, and combining elements to create layered, thought-provoking pieces. 

Tamayo’s work has been exhibited individually and collectively both in Canada and internationally. He holds a practice-based doctorate in Visual Arts from York University, a master’s in fine and visual arts from the National University of Colombia, and a Graduate Program in Digital Technologies from Concordia University. 

In addition to his artistic practice, Alejandro serves as the Executive Director of the Arts Council Windsor & Region. He is also a sessional instructor at the School of Creative Arts, University of Windsor.
