Juan Carlos Delgado 2

We took another look at Delgado and his most recent show. If I remember right, all of it is encompassed in a room that is cold enough to keep the pieces he made frozen.
The first one that is shown on this website is a copper mold of his daughter. He made it, and then let it freeze in the room, with frost covering all of the face and hair, etc. It was a really cool idea and kind of portrays that art is "frozen" in time. Hehe.

The next couple of things that he has are jail gate bars that are frozen. However, for this piece he somehow made the bars alternate depending on the time, so some will be melting while others will be frosting. Again, a very, very neat idea!! I wonder if you're allowed to touch the pieces, I wonder if he made the bars themselves get hot, so you could touch one piece and it would be freezing, and the other would be quite warm. 

This last one is my favorite out of his show. It's a molded piece of his wife's hands that are holding fire. It's on the other side of all the frozen stuff, connected to the wall, and apparently in a place without much light - which makes alot more of a contrast, and alot more interesting to look at. The hands are kind of cupped and there is a single flame in the center, coming out. It's a really good and nice design. 

I also like how the fire reflects off the wall behind it, so you can see two of them.
