Description
LOS CARPINTEROS A sculpture depicting the history of the former industrial district of Zurich-West Watercolour on paper, signed and dated 2003 in the bottom right-hand corner. Height: 253 cm; Width: 151 cm (including frame) Plexiglas mount (striped) LOS CARPINTEROS (‘The Carpenters’) is an artists’ collective founded in 1992 in Havana, which places wood at the heart of its creative work. Originally comprising three Cubans who graduated in 1994 from the Higher Institute of the Arts in Havana: Marco Antonio Castillo VALDES (born in 1971), Dagoberto Rodríguez SANCHEZ (born 1969), and Alexandre Arrechea Jesús ZAMBRANO (born 1970), the collective began its work whilst they were still students; in 2003, it was reduced to the Valdés-Sánchez duo. Both live and work in Havana and Madrid, carrying out projects in Europe and the United States. Their installations and performances, complemented by watercolour drawings and videos that defy the laws of nature (featuring tools as large as brick towers), question the functional aspect of architecture and design. Provenance: - Acquired directly from the artist
