MGA Partners is pleased to present a video installation by Gilberto López-Elías, a new project inspired by the billboards, rail catenary systems and rooflines of post-industrial Philadelphia. Captured in silhouettes and moving images, the rhythmic sequences conceived by López-Elías suggest a cinematic assembly line of industrial equipment and structures in continuous operation. Visible at night, the installation will be projected on MGA's studio windows facing Market Street. The artist based in Guanajuato, Mexico devises layered and animated video pieces from his own graphic print work and photographs. López-Elías received his MFA from the Tyler School of Art and Architecture, Temple University and teaches at the University of Guanajuato. The artist's work has been exhibited in Mexico City, San Miguel de Allende, Miami and Philadelphia.
