Adrian Esparza

Adrian Esparza draws on his bordertown El Paso, Texas roots to create his colorful installations. Each is formed from a sarape blanket that’s pulled apart thread by thread, then wrapped around nails hammered into the walls of the gallery it occupies to create a multi-dimensional linear structure. Esparza’s deconstruction and transformation of this cultural symbol reflects the displacement of identity that many Mexican-Americans experience as a result of migration.

Tomás Saraceno / Becoming Aerosolar

Tomás Saraceno is a new name to new in the interactive art world, but man, I’m loving everything of his that I lay eyes on. My favorite is Becoming Aerosolar. All of Saraceno’s work is an exploration into humanity’s environmental impact on the planet. Becoming Aerosolar‘s ethereal, airborne vehicles are created from recycled plastic bags that are heated by the sun to a certain point until they start to float. This installation is currently on view at 21er Haus.
