On February 9, 2025 a crowd assembled around the conglomeration of sculptures that comprise 'Por El RĂo,' some reclining against one benches’ concrete curvatures and others in the cast shadows of towering chainlink. Their attention was directed toward artists Christopher Suarez and Carlos Agredano, who were brought into conversation with Clockshop’s Director of Artistic Projects, cat yang, to discuss how their practices evolved over the course of this project. Suarez, seated on his own structure of compacted earth, reflected on his choice to collaborate with those who had been instrumental in his development as an artist and how, over the course of intense cross-pollination, conversation, and the co-facilitation of a series of community workshops, these ties had strengthened immeasurably.
