Architecture + Art: Hector Zamora

Architecture + Art: Héctor Zamora is a site-specific project in response to the environmental and architectural context of the Museum in Scottsdale, as well as the Arizona desert. Artist Héctor Zamora creates dynamic installations that explore the social implications of architecture. Focusing on urbanism/suburbanism in the wake of the U.S. housing collapse, Zamora's installation at SMoCA challenges viewers to reinterpret the intersection of our constructed world and the natural landscape. An artwork in a separate satellite location critically reconsiders the presence of military operations throughout the Sonoran desert’s vast public lands.
