Alterative Monuments, Durden & Ray L.A. / Monumentos Alternativos , OJO MX, CDMX
Through the exchange exhibition Alterative Monuments / Monumentos Alternativos, Poparosa at Durden at Ray is the companion sculpture to ItzaL.A. Cool exhibited simultaneously at Ojo Versalles, Mexico City. These two re-imagined kinetic, rotating, theatrically lit, suitcase drum set sculptures are meant to be a romantic couple inspired by the love affair between Mexico City’s volcanoes, Popocatépetl and Iztaccíhuatl. Poparosa in L.A. features warm tones such as pink carpet and pink flame graphics related to the heat of Popocatépetl’s solar elements. ItzaL.A. Cool at Ojo Versalles features cool tones, such as blue carpet and blue graphics as either blue flames or waves of water.
