A lucky Tuesday! ¡ Un Martes de suerte!



I just want to post about how lucky we were to visit the Museum of Contemporary Art of Chicago yesterday, December 6, 2011. Andrew Bird was rehearsing a composition that he will be playing this week as part of a collaborative installation at the museum with Ian Schneller. It was such a unique experience to appreciate art with the company of his music. It felt like even walking up the stairs of the museum was transformed into its own special experience with the presence with his sound. I also have to say that Exhibitions are great! Here are some pictures.




Solamente quería escribir acerca de la suerte que tuvimos ayer Diciembre 6 del 2011, al visitar el museo de arte contemporáneo: “Museum of Contemporary Art” en Chicago. Andrew Bird estaba en un ensayo de la composición que estará esta semana en la instalación en el museo. Esta instalación es una colaboración con Ian Schneller. Fue una experiencia única el poder apreciar arte en compañía de la música. Subir las escaleras del museo se transformo en una experiencia diferente en presencia de los sonidos. Cabe decir que las exposiciones en el museo están geniales. Estas son algunas fotos:

Guido Palau Masks





I am working on a piece that is meant to be worn on the head. It is a piece that has taken me a long time and now that I have more time to spend with it I have found so many things that are related to the process. One artist that has inspired this work is the hair stylist, Guido Palau and the masks he made for the Alexander McQueen exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Arts Costume Institute in the Spring. Here are some pictures of the masks:

Estoy trabajando en una pieza para la cabeza. Es una pieza que me ha tomado mucho tiempo. y ahora que tengo tiempo de meditar mas acerca de esta he encontrado muchas referencias y artistas que se relacionan o me han inspirado durante mi proceso. Uno de estos artistas es Guido Palau un estilista que hizo las mascaras para las piezas de Alexander McQueen en el Metropolitan “Museum of Art’s Costume Institute” en primavera.

SUMMER 2011


This time I want to write about this summer. It was a good summer. I had the fortunate opportunity to work with two amazing young artists: Scott A Carter and Gyun Hur. I helped Scott install his work at the Lexington Art League. An installation that gives you a surrealistic experience, changing your perspective of the architecture of its site. These images will give you a better idea.






I also helped Gyun Hur in her installation“I Dreamed Your Utopia” a gorgeous installation at Hotel Florence 11111 S. Forrestville Avenue Chicago at Pullman a beautiful neigborhood in the south of Chicago.
