Many of the artist's interests are embodied in this project, from seed bombing and guerrilla gardening to ancient 'chinampas', small grids of earth used to grow corn, peppers and tomatoes in the area that later became Mexico City. The triangular shape evokes a giant compass, pointing east and west, but also recalls the strong diagonals used by Russian avant-garde artists such as El Lissitsky and the work of the visionary architect Buckminster Fuller whose geodesic dome designs comprised intersecting triangular elements. During the 1990s and 2000s, Cruzvillegas was among the key figures of a new wave of artists in Mexico. For the past few years, he has created a body of work under the title 'Autoconstrucción' or 'self-construction', a term that usually refers to the way Mexicans of his parents' generation, arriving in the capital from rural areas in the 1960s, built their own houses in stages, improvising with whatever materials they could source. Cruzvillegas was born in 1968 in Mexico City, where he continues to live and work. He is represented in several major museum collections, including Tate and MoMA, New York, and in recent years his work has been exhibited at Haus der Kunst, Munich (2014); Walker Art Center, Minneapolis (2013); and Modern Art Oxford (2011). To offer better access to experiencing art, Hyundai Motor has also initiated partnerships with the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art Korea (MMCA), the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) and Bloomberg. With MMCA, Hyundai Motor offers a decade long platform for Korean artists. At the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, The Hyundai Project explores two significant fields - Art + Technology and Korean Art Scholarship - through acquisitions, exhibitions, and publications. Brilliant Ideas looks at some of the most exciting artists to extend ground breaking ideas to the international audience in collaboration with Bloomberg. Hyundai Motor will continue its support for the global art communities with a strong belief in the need to enable creative experiences in all areas of the world. The iconic Turbine Hall measures an impressive 35 meters in height by 152 meters in length and has hosted some of the most memorable and acclaimed works of contemporary art. The magnificent installations, specially commissioned for the space, have delivered dramatic experiences to an audience of millions while changing perceptions of art. The annual Hyundai Commission allows global artists to take on the challenge of interpreting the unique atmosphere of the Turbine Hall while inviting the audience to witness how art evolves throughout a decade.
