Biography
Alexandre Arrechea (1970- ) is a Cuban multidisciplinary artist whose practice spans large-scale installations, sculptures, watercolor drawings, and videos. He is one of the founding members of the Cuban collective, Los Carpinteros, active between 1991 and 2003. The group toyed with the idea of dichotomies and often reimagined everyday objects into an imperfect, new form. As a solo artist, he focuses on systems of power and surveillance. The connections between architecture, history, memory, and the Black body are all of interest to him. His public sculpture invites audience interaction.
Arrechea received a BFA from Instituto Superior de Arte (ISA) in Havana in 1994.
