About the Program

Cuban-born Vancouver-based artist Osvaldo Yero's sculpture exhibition Transplant consists of wall-mounted ceramics, running water, and live plants. He makes use of symbols such as the hand, the heart, plants, and tears, to use kitsch and cliché to make statements about poverty and Cuban history. Kitsch ornaments have a long complex history—especially in Latin American culture—that embrace religion, science, poetry, sex, and the very basics of life and death. Transplant was Yero's first Canadian solo exhibition.
