Alejandro Guzmán creates “performance sculptures” that have an active life as catalysts, generating what he calls Creative Misunderstandings. Giving sculpture a dynamic life has led to Creative Misunderstandings with titles such as “Mendacity”, “Class Wars”, “Intellectual Derelict” and “the Fatalist“. Now on view, the Fatalist in the center of the gallery features a wooden skeleton with surfaces of glitter, mirrors, animal horns and textiles, placed on a framing tapestry derived from a residency in Guatemala and a wall of preparatory drawings. The Fatalist is joined by a family of other sculptures created in Seattle in June. To activate them, Alejandro enacted events involving hidden signals, sounds, and the choreographed movements of other artists.
