"ektor garcia: loose ends" at the San José Museum of Art
When so much of our time is spent looking at slick images on a shiny screen, it’s important to give our eyes and brains the pleasure of witnessing complicated, multidimensional texture. ektor garcia’s sculptural installations are wonderfully handmade, referencing Mexican craft traditions and standing as testament to the artist’s endurance for repetitive gestures. There’s something of Eva Hesse’s material experimentation in garcia’s work, but softer, more organic, fueled by weaving, knitting and crocheting. At SJMA, existing and new sculptures will be repurposed into a single, new installation.
