This monograph is a comprehensive survey of Los Carpinteros’ work since 2003, their most critically acclaimed period. Since their first collaborations, which focused on the traditions of craftsmanship and the colonial architecture of Cuba, as well as the subversion of the craftsman and the artist, Los Carpinteros’ installations, sculptures and watercolour paintings of have explored the political potential of art. In their more recent works, they transform simple, everyday objects (such as beds, loudspeakers and coffee machines) in dreamlike and associative ways, cracking open the ambiguities of reality and producing moments of absurdity and humour.Seit ihren frühen Arbeiten, in denen sich Los Carpinteros mit Traditionen des Handwerks und der Kolonialarchitektur Kubas auseinandersetzten, loten ihre Installationen, Skulpturen und Aquarellzeichnungen das politische Potenzial von Kunst aus. In ihren aktuellen Arbeiten transformieren sie einfach Alltagsgegenstände wie Betten, Lautsprecher und Kaffeemaschinen auf traumhafte, assoziative Weise. Dieser künstlerische Prozess der Verfremdung bringt Brüche und Ambiguitäten in der vermeintlichen Realität zum Vorschein und produziert Momente des Absurden wie auch des Unheimlichen. Die Monografie präsentiert das Werk des kubanischen Künstlerduos im Überblick und fokussiert dabei auf Arbeiten seit 2003.

(see image) / Los Carpinteros is a Cuban artist collective founded in Havana in 1992 by Marco Antonio Castillo Valdes, Dagoberto Rodriguez Sanchez, and Alexandre Arrechea (who left the group in 2003). In 1994 they decided "to renounce the notion of individual authorship and refer back to an older guild tradition of artisans and skilled laborers" in an attempt to emphasize their belief that art always, to some extent, involves collaboration. Both Valdes and Sanchez were born in Cuba and live and work between Havana and Madrid. They have exhibited in Cuba, Europe and North America, and have received a number of awards.
