Abraham Cruzvillegas is known for elegant constructions of found material including what he describes as “wool, sheep shit, chicken wire, discarded furniture, cardboard, stones, grass and my own hair.” These materials, as well as the content and presentation of Cruzvillegas’s work, reflect the practices—like protest songs and self-built homes—of a marginalized world pushed aside by private property and capital. In some projects this aspect is underscored by elements of public performance and collaboration.
