Los Carpinteros is a Cuban artist collective founded in Havana in 1992 by Marco Antonio Castillo Valdes, , 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.

  • Los Carpinteros est le nom d'un trio d'artistes, Alexandre Arrechea, Dagoberto Rodríguez Sánchez (né en 1971 à Cuba) et Marco Castillo Valdés (né en 1969), fondé en 1992 durant leurs études à l' de La Havane. Leur approche s'inspire de Jorge Luis Borges et son recueil de poèmes El Otro, El Mismo, paru en 1964. Au début des années 1990, plusieurs artistes quittent Cuba en raison des difficultés économiques. Devant le manque de ressources, le trio décide de travailler le bois et d'utiliser des objets trouvés dans les maisons abandonnées de La Havane, d'où leur surnom Los Carpinteros (les menuisiers). Ils sont depuis d'importants représentants de la scène artistique de Cuba à l'international. Arrachea quitte le groupe en 2003; les deux autres continueront de travailler ensemble jusqu'à la fin du groupe en 2018. Ils ont fait plusieurs œuvres, notamment Estuche (1999) et Mano Creadora. Ces deux œuvres ont été réalisées en bois et en tiroirs. Estuche, un meuble à tiroirs en forme de grenade, et Cromo Diez (2011), une lampe à pétrole d'où s'écoule une flaque de chrome, appartiennent au Musée des beaux-arts de Montréal. Cromo Diez fait partie d'un ensemble de lampes créées sur le même thème, illustration typique de la démarche du groupe qui consiste à transformer physiquement et symboliquement des objets du quotidien. Dans le cas présent, l'œuvre renvoie aux difficultés du pays, où les coupures d'électricité sont fréquentes, et à la pression politique du régime. (fr)
  • Los Carpinteros is a Cuban artist collective founded in Havana in 1992 by Marco Antonio Castillo Valdes, , 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. In their work the artists incorporate aspects of architecture, design and sculpture to create installations and drawings that “negotiate the space between the functional and the nonfunctional", where they derive their “inspiration from the physical world” and express their interest in the intersection of art and society in a humorous manner. Los Carpinteros create a response to places, spaces and objects, how they have been conceived, built, used and abandoned. Between personal exposures are those made in the 90s in the ' "Centro de Arte 23 y 12" Cuba. They have been exhibited at "The New Museum of Contemporary Art" and the "Contemporary Arts Center" in Cincinnati, Ohio; "Grant Selwyn Fine Arts" in Los Angeles, CA; at the International Contemporary Art Fair ARCO'98 in Madrid; and Art Basel Miami where for the 2012 edition of the fair they built the "Güiro Art Bar". They held their first solo exhibition in Asia, 'Heterotopias', at Edouard Malingue Gallery in 2013. (en)
