The Princeton University Art Museum Student Advisory Board welcomes Roberto Behar and Rosario Marquardt, two of the designers and founders of R&R Studios. Born in Argentina, the Miami-based artists create artworks that perform as social sculptures and tools for the pursuit of happiness.
Princeton University commissioned R&R Studios to create three works of public art installed on campus this past summer. The series of so-called “social sculptures,” entitled The Home We Share (2022), has been permanently installed outside the University’s new Residential Colleges. Consisting of a playfully oversized concrete couch, a huge picnic table, brightly colored metal flowers, and more, the three spaces are designed to encourage socialization and to erase the boundaries between art and life.
Watch the recorded artist talk.
Join a conversation with the artists moderated by Mitra Abbaspour, Haskell Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art. Introduced by Art Museum Director James Steward.
Reception to follow at the large brightly colored picnic table, part of The Home We Share (Forget Me Not), at New College West (weather permitting). In case of inclement weather, the reception will be in the Kwanza Jones Hall B105 at New College West.
