The Sculpture of Gonzalo Fonseca
As a new decade begins, take a moment to examine your origins. Gonzalo Fonseca was a Uruguayan artist who sculpted large pieces in marble and limestone. The sculptures look like archeological excavations of unknown civilizations. Like our own histories and foundational narratives, Fonseca's various unearthed rooms, with their swinging pendulums, small artifacts and mathematic diagrams, are mythic and mysterious. Take a look at this trailer for a documentary to get acquainted with the artist and then think about where you came from and how you got here, with the understanding that those stories are constructs themselves that can always be re-shaped or told anew.
