Mondongo's plasticine "Calavera 8" contains anthropological sites and interrelations of global scale.
About
Track 16 presents Mondongo’s Calavera 8, which is one of twelve works from the Calaveras series made between 2009 and 2013 by the Argentine art collective Mondongo. The work is plasticine on wood, 78.75 x 78.75 x 15.75 inches. When viewed from a distance, the work reads as a skull. Upon closer examination the high relief skull contains anthropological sites of global scale with a tableau revealing figures that weave in a multitude of meanings. Through mythology and satire the work takes the classical theme of art history and reflects on the temporality of the human race through collaged plasticine imagery.
Calavera 8 will be on exhibition in Track 16’s first floor exhibition space. Visiting hours are Wednesday to Saturday 12-6pm and by appointment.
