Erronea Artesania/ Erroneous Crafts | |
Nov 20 - Dec 20, 1997 | |
Starting Thursday, November 20th the George Adams Gallery will exhibit new works by Jose Bedia. Titled Erronea Artesania (Erroneous Crafts), the exhibition consists of 16 carved and painted wood objects as well as 12 small-scale drawings in colored inks. Bedia has exhibited regularly in New York since his debut exhibition with the gallery in 1991, but this is the first show to focus almost exclusively on his dimensional work. Like whittling in the United States, Cuba has a long tradition of carving. Cuban children - the young Bedia included - often make their own toy cars or airplanes out of scraps of wood and bottle caps. In the Erronea Artesania series, Bedia makes explicit reference to this tradition while imbuing the works with a meaning rarely associated with toys or crafts. For example, a three-part piece carved in the shape of trucks and painted with images of huddled figures seems at first glance simply a decorative arrangement. The subject becomes evident, however, in context with the title: Intentos (Intentions), inscribed on the lowest panel, refers to the repeated - and often fateful - attempts by Mexicans • Doyle+DesignAuction: Doyle+Design, Jun 5, 2024
