Kunsthaus Zürich
16.2.–25.3.2018Autorreconstrucción: Social Tissue by Abraham Cruzvillegas is an evocative exhibition that delves into themes of community, identity, and transformation. Utilizing found objects and materials, Cruzvillegas creates dynamic sculptures and installations that reflect the improvisational and collaborative nature of social structures. The exhibition draws on the artist's concept of autoconstrucción, inspired by the self-built homes in his native Mexico City, to explore how individuals and communities adapt and rebuild in response to their environments. Through this process, Social Tissue highlights the resilience and creativity inherent in collective human endeavors, offering a powerful commentary on social cohesion and the shared human experience.
