Ricardo Cuevas
Mexican artist Ricardo Cuevas uses communication as a conceptual universe where duality between the material and the immaterial, the visible and the invisible, is a fundamental stepping-stone of the creative process. Presented in the form of books, words, audio tracks and videos treated with acute minimalism, Cuevas’ work often calls for participation of a chosen character or the public, which he involves in games or forms of manipulation, as a way to convey his social and political ideas.
