Summer Escaño Aquino is a transdisciplinary artist from the Philippines, currently based in Alfred, New York. Their work has been published by The Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, The Nasher Sculpture Center magazine, and Mortadella (forthcoming). They’ve exhibited at Kunsthaus Salzwedel in Germany, The Power Station garden annex in Dallas, TX, and Robert C. Turner Gallery in Alfred, NY, among others. They’re the recipient of a 2023 Dallas Museum of Art Kimbrough Artist Award, a 2024 Haystack Fellowship, and a 2015 Artist Residency at Atelierhaus Hilmsen Molzberger Akademie.

Their recent projects include FOLK PHYSICS, presented by Borgen Wolfe (virtual) in collaboration with Swim Club 수영 클럽 (located within The Power Station); Moon Dust—a glaze development using the chemical composition of the lunar surface with sublunary compounds as simulant; and  SOUP [ceramics]. Aquino’s work encircles the reconciliation between the infinite and the subtleties of personal sensation.
