Eduardo Cervantes, A New Man

Williamburg
February 16 - March 18, 2007
Reception: Friday, February 16, 7 - 9 PM


Eduardo Cervantes’s relief sculptures examine the body as a fictitious entity. Cervantes synthesizes certain ideas on the deconstruction and appropriation of the found object, particularly low quality merchandise. They are built from 3-D puzzle cards made in China that the artist has been collecting for years; trinkets for junk food that defy you to punch out the pieces and assemble a small three-dimensional model. Cervantes calls them “accidents in a dislocated global economy. In a world of waste, male transformers share common identities in a totemic culture of youth war. I have been subverting their use and looking out for their intangible potential.”
