Project Description
“The Only Thing That Can Kill Us Is Death”  a Contemporary Art Maze Installation by Albert Reyes

Los Angeles, California-based artist Albert Reyes showcased his contemporary art maze installation at The Vex Arts Center on October 25, 2013. The event titled “The Only Thing That Can Kill Us Is Death,” presented a selection of mixed media artworks set inside a contemporary art maze.

Reyes’ art installations have been attracting the interests of various art lovers since he developed a spooky Halloween maze in his own backyard in El Sereno in 2004. This maze installation has become an annual event that is being excitedly anticipated by those who want to experience screaming while having fun. Overtime, this maze has significantly improved in terms of structure, construction, and features to provide visitors with an exhilarating spooky experience.

Reyes, who specializes in creating conceptual art, is known for using homemade and found objects that he believed would be appropriate for the art that he is creating such as bottles, suitcases, clothes, old photographs, and TVs,. With these objects combined with his artistic skills, Reyes is expected to create a contemporary art that boasts uniqueness and creativity. Reyes stresses that the concept behind his Halloween maze is to create something artistic that can visitors scream in fear while still having fun.

The Contemporary Art Maze Installation at The Vex Arts will be curated by Omar Holguin, an award winning curator who is committed to helping national and international artists in cultivating their artistic skills as well as in providing them with a place where they can showcase their masterpieces to a broader audience. He is currently the Chief Curator and Arts Director of Vex Arts Center.

Every piece of art that is included in this Contemporary Art Maze Installation has its own distinctive feature that sets it apart from the rest. The best thing about this is that it allows viewers to have their own interpretation and conclusion not just about one piece of art but the installation as a whole. The differences in their interpretations also help push the thinking of the public about Reyes’ artistic style. Studying this artwork will enable individuals to see and understand the inspiration or story behind this art installation.

Although Reyes’ works are usually inspired by American pop culture, street art, and comic books, he also has an eye for classical and contemporary art. His Contemporary Art Maze Installation will serve as an excellent way to share his dedication to creating fascinating and mind blowing artworks. It is an expression of his voice and personality. To maximize the fun and excitement, participants can bring a costume to the event.

The Vex Arts Center is probably the best place to display Reyes’ Contemporary Art Maze Installation due to its contribution to the arts and music in California. It no longer just accommodates live music events but also video arts and live installations that are essential parts of an exceptional contemporary art. Visit The Vex Arts Center on October 23, and appreciate the product of Albert Reyes’ brilliant mind: The Contemporary Art Maze Installation.
