untitled, 2011, potato snacks, cable ties

I've been clearing out my studio in preparation for my move to London. Came across this small sculpture I made a while ago. Smelled a bit musty, so 'edible art' it is not.

Wilfredo Prieto

Work from Cuban artist Wilfredo Prieto. Prieto's work highlights many elements including 'conceptual force, narrative brevity, lack of superfluous elements, insisting references to the artistic practice, a delicate sense of humour, puns and poetry with an equal share of persistence and subtlety. Ultimately, his work consists of drawing the most direct line from the original idea to its execution. It is difficult to explain the precision and thoroughness of the artist. His work is the result of a scrupulous commitment, which helps him to consider all of the formal and conceptual aspects as well as to remove any redundancy from his proposals.'

Grasa, jabón, plátano, 2006, grease, soap and banana.

Poema finito, 2001, coins and glue.

Untitled (pea), 2002, ink and chickpea.

Bizarre Bazaar @ Pallas Contemporary Projects

I will be showing a hardback book version of arrangement150 in Bizarre Bazaar, this year's annual group show at Pallas Contemporary Projects. Opening 7-9pm Thursday 25th November. Running until 18th December.

'.....an open platform for the exchange of ideas, where every idea has its price. This years’ annual group exhibition will explore a certain tendency of the bazaar, for which the gallery will be set up as a market for the duration of the exhibition. Artworks of various sizes and prices, editions, fanzines, long playing records and artists’ books, have been donated by, temporarily estranged from, hoodwinked and wrestled out of the hands of esteemed, established and emerging artists, our colleagues and friends.'

Alejandra Laviada - Photo Sculptures

'In Photo Sculptures, Alejandra portrays ephemeral sculptures created with found objects in order to alter our conception of everyday objects, record spaces that are disappearing, and suggest stories of the people who inhabited these spaces. Each of the sites Alejandra photographs is in the process of being completely demolished or redeveloped, and she works only with the objects found in each space.'
