Résumé:

This monograph presents a comprehensive survey of Los Carpinteros' work since 2003, their most critically acclaimed period.
"The Havana-based collective Los Carpinteros (The Carpenters), consisting of Marco Castillo and Dagoberto Rodriguez, has created some of the most nuanced work to emerge from Cuba in recent decades. Their enigmatic and mordantly humorous sculptures, watercolor drawings, and installations take inspiration from the physical world, particularily that of architecture and design objects, tools, and construction materials. Expressing latent political implications and ideological twists, the carefully crafted works exploit a visual syntax that dwells on the contradictions between object and functionality, art and the everyday, practicality and uselessness, autonomy and social meaning. With contributions by Paulo Herkenhoff, Helen Molesworth, Rochelle Steiner, and Eugenio Valdés Figueroa."--Page 4 of cover.
