Los Carpinteros, ‘Show Room’ at Hayward Gallery
“The piece is made up of suspended cinder blocks, furniture, bed pillow and carpet… frozen, at the moment of an explosion.”

| The Hayward is an art gallery within the Southbank Centre, an area of major arts venues on the South Bank of the River Thames, in central London, England.
The Hayward opened on 9 July 1968, and its powerful massing and extensive use of exposed concrete construction makes it a good example of Brutalist architecture. To counter punch the architecture in an exhibition titled Psycho Buildings: Architecture by Artists showing from May 22 - August 27, 2008 is an installation piece or pieces made by the Cuban collective; Los Carptineros. The piece is made up of suspended cinder blocks, furniture, bed pillow and carpet… frozen, at the moment of an explosion. |
