Eddie Rodolfo Aparicio (MOCA Focus)

Edited and with text by Anna Katz. Foreword by Johanna Burton. 

Eddie Rodolfo Aparicio (b.1990) is a Los Angeles-based artist who combines natural materials such as rubber and amber with found clothing, street detritus, and ephemera to create large-scale sculptural archives of Salvadoran communities in Los Angeles that give form to experiences of diaspora, migration, and solidarity.

Published to accompany the artist’s MOCA Focus series exhibition, this volume inaugurates the Nimoy Emerging Artists Publication Series (Nimoy Series), an important initiative for MOCA that provides artists with a crucial publishing opportunity at a breakthrough moment in their careers. The Nimoy Series is made possible thanks to the generous support from Susan Bay Nimoy and her late husband, Leonard Nimoy, through the Nimoy Fund for Emerging Artists.
