7 PM, Mills College, Danforth Lecture Hall


Dario Robleto makes research-based works that are informed by collaborations with experts from a variety of scientific disciplines. He has explored the mysteries of the human heart, outer space, and the deep sea, creating sculptural works that take the form of reliquaries designed to attract the attention of alien life forms, and curio cabinets that organize and enumerate found collections of fossils or shells.


Robleto has had numerous solo exhibitions, most recently at the McNay Museum, San Antonio, TX (2018); Menil Collection, Houston, TX (2014); the Baltimore Museum of Art (2014); the New Orleans Museum of Art (2012); and the Museum of Contemporary Art, Denver (2011). His work has been profiled in numerous publications and media including Radiolab, Krista Tippet’s “On Being”, and the New York Times.


Robleto is among the featured artists of In Plain Sight, on view at Mills College Art Museum through Dec 8.


Free and open to the public.
