About the Artist
Andrew Barco was born and raised in Durham, NC, and spent many years in Boston and Chicago before returning to the warmer climate of Northern Virginia. His work is concerned with the often strange and improbable ways ideas and habits can be transmitted across cultural landscapes and through time. With an MFA in sculpture from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, he researches intellectual, cultural, and craft histories and takes his viewers on philosophical detours. He has shown his work in group and solo shows around the country, most recently in a solo show “Understory” at MoCA Arlington September 2023. You can find him, as well, every Saturday through the summer at the Reston farmers market selling sculptural kitchen tools.
