Descripción de la Exposición

Nara Roesler New York is pleased to present From the Circle to the Star, the first solo exhibition in New York by Marco A. Castillo (Havana, Cuba, 1971), marking a significant moment in the artist's career and introducing American audiences to his artistic practice, which reflects on the subtle connections between – and the collective tensions of – their expressions, politics and design, function and form, history, art, and decoration. Castillo carries out extensive research in architecture, design, and sculpture—fundamental aspects of his artistic practice—characterized by installations, drawings, and sculptures that engage with space and negotiate, with notable humor, the functional and the non-functional. The exhibition title, From the Circle to the Star, borrows its name from a series of works in wood and rattan that depict the transition—or evolution—between two simple, distinct forms: the circle and the star. It also evokes a sense of continuity between them. This progression of two basic geometric shapes reflects the political dualism of which Marco Castillo—and generations of Cuban artists and intellectuals will always be a part, inspired by his recent exhibitions, such as the show at the Cranbrook Art Museum, where Castillo explored the intersection of modernist design and social history.
