Please join MAM for a MSU/MAM Art Talk with internationally recognized contemporary artist Vik Muniz tomorrow! Tickets: https://montclairartmuseum.org/learn-lectures#ticket Initially a sculptor, Vik Muniz grew interested with the photographic representations of his work, eventually focusing completely on photography. Primarily working in series, Muniz incorporates the use of quotidian objects such as diamonds, sugar, thread, chocolate syrup and garbage in his practice to create bold, ironic, and often deceiving imagery, gleaned from the pages of pop culture and art history. In 2010, Muniz was featured in the documentary film Waste Land, which featured Munizs work on one of the worlds largest garbage dumps, Jardim Gramacho, on the outskirts of Rio de Janeiro. The film was nominated to the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature at the 83rd Academy Awards.
