Artists give form to immaterial ideas and feelings

Didier Fiuza Faustino, Explorers, 2015, print on fine art paper

This installation shows pictures of men with metal cage-like structures on their shoulders. They explored an old abandoned building in Cuba with these over their head. These different structures brought attention to the “prisons” of our society. These can be social or political, but both restrict people of their rights. The unfinished building represented an uncertain future and the scars of the past. These ideas generated from the project fulfill the role of an artist giving form to immaterial ideas and feelings.


Choi Jeong-Hwa, Life Life, 2015, 3000 balloons

This installation, which is comprised of 3,000 balloons, is titled Life Life. This work of art enables people to interact with them and use their imagination to bring them back to life. The artist has brought these regular objects back to life and given them a second chance. He bases it off of the Buddhist principle of rebirth. This principal states that the end of one existence is the preparation of a new one.
