Artist Statement on Interpretative Project
The Interpretive Project by Alejandro Negrete is based on Thomas Hirschhorn’s Cavemanman. He attempts to take apart the piece in a sense and reveal its various facets. He is a proponent of the idea of mass culture having incomparable effects in modern art. He used philosophical literature by Umberto Eco, Barthes, and Benjamin in order put meaning behind definition. The idea of reproducibility is the central vein from which Negrete bases his other interpretations. How is it that art has become what it is? How does Hirschhorn’s installation underscore these general view and concepts? These are some of the question that Negrete attempts to answer in his project.
