Exhibition

“MANIFESTO y RUINA” is a sculptural installation in which there is a dialogue about the nature of the materials to respond to the various particularities of the forms and the identity contradictions of the sculptural elements.

It is through the use of materials of a constructive nature in juxtaposition with elements taken from everyday life, that the artist continues with his line of sculptural research to continue exploring aspects such as identity construction, thought, political and social positioning, among others.

Curated by Fabrizio Contarino
