The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum

A lone plastic shopping bag, plucked by the breeze, floats gracefully down the street. It is the “muse” of Lucia Hierro, who, although foremost an academic, is also a conceptual artist - a driver of dialogue. Her work does not serve light snacks. It divulges the dark twists on labor and production; the juxtapositions and contradictions of late capitalism.
