Radamés “Juni” Figueroa “Naguabo Rainbow Daguao Enchumbao Fango Fireflies”
SculptureCenter
This event has ended.
For his exhibition the SculptureCenter, Radamés “Juni” Figueroa is creating is creating a site-specific structure that will reference a previously built tree house in Naguabo, Puerto Rico. The construction will incorporate materials from and related to the tropics, but also from the city. This hybrid environment invites interaction, celebration and socialization, essential elements to most of his works. The sculpture incorporates materials inspired by the tropical rain forest in Puerto Rico, as well as by urban structures found throughout the island. With this work, Figueroa is further investigating ideas concerning tropical architecture, a type of construction mostly determined by available materials, while also making connections to the context of New York City. Figueroa’s works’ explore and amplify associations from the tropics through a mix of personal references and critical humor. At SculptureCenter, Radames will further explore his experiences within the forest though sound installations, paintings, and his “Tropical Ready Mades”.
