The London-based Argentinian artist (b. 1978) works primarily with sculpture, photography, film, and installation, adopting a conceptual approach marked by wit and a sense of play. Perception, time, memory, and a sense of how particular gestures read in different cultural contexts are central to Pica's work, alternately highlighting moments of connection and disjunction. The promise - as well as the uncertainty - of communication is a persistent concern in Pica's oeuvre. Megaphones, antennae, podiums, and signal flags are recurring motifs, though rarely are these devices shown in a moment of use. Depicted at rest or disconnected from their functionality, they become figures for potential communication, carriers of a message that always remains hypothetical.", "occurrence_notes":"", "guid":"5684-1132389@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/5684", "building_id":"1000151", "building_name":"Museum of Art", "campus_maps_id":"11", "room":"Project Gallery", "location_name":"Museum of Art", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["museum","visual arts"], "website":"", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)", "group_id":"1177", "website":"http:\/\/www.umma.umich.edu\/" } ], "image_url":"", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"", "event_large":"", "event_large_2x":"", "event_large_lightbox":"", "group_thumb":"", "group_thumb_square":"", "group_large":"", "group_large_lightbox":"", "event_large_crop":"", "event_list":"", "event_list_2x":"", "event_grid":"", "event_grid_2x":"", "event_feature_large":"", "event_feature_thumb":"" }, "occurrence_count":114, "first_occurrence":1132357 } , "5604-1132068": { "datetime_modified":"20110308T110842", "datetime_start":"20110629T100000", "datetime_end":"20110629T170000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2011-06-29", "date_end":"2011-06-29", "time_start":"10:00:00", "time_end":"17:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Watermarks from Venice Exhibit", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Watermarks from Venice Exhibit", "event_subtitle":"", "event_type":"Exhibition", "event_type_id":"7", "description":"This exhibit shows examples of early printed books produced in Venice from the fifteenth century onward, from the time when Venice was a culturally renowned center for book printing.
