Los Carpinteros

Focus on the relationship between art and society, the group mixes design, architecture, urbanism in astonishing and often humorous ways. In their carefully crafted installations, sculptures and watercolors they establish peculiar statements towards the object and its function, art and the everyday, uselessness and practicality, autonomy and social meaning.
