In the art venue called Kurimanzutto in Mexico City, the Cuban artist WILFREDO PRIETO is currently occupying the exhibition space and its surrounding with a series of minimal and anti-monumental interventions.
PRIETO is best known for producing installations, and works that are at the same time delicate, highly minimal and loaded with conceptual intentions. For his new exhibition in Mexico City’s entitled You Can’t Make A Revolution With Silk Gloves, PRIETO spent almost six weeks before the opening in the exhibition space that he used as his studio.
Almost like traces of human activity, a few familiar objects are placed precisely in the gallery space such a fan that blows a single piece of hair attached to a raisin, two drawers in the kitchen filled with salt and the other with Maldon, a smartphone that lights on a rope that runs into the main gallery and connects to a 20 ft piece of rebar, layers of plates of glass sourced from a local window shop, a tomato can filled with magnets rolls as well as ten clippings from the artist’s fingernails (image above) among others.
All these objects that reciprocally connect and disconnect each others, appear to be at an ambiguous intersection between abstraction and figuration, and thus leaving room for the viewer many doors, and many other entrances to get inside.
You can’t make a revolution with silk gloves by WILFREDO PRIETO is on view at Kurimanzutto in Mexico City until August 27, 2016
