SCAD presents "The Rules of Play" by Alexandre Arrechea

"The Rules of Play" is the first solo show in the Southeast by Cuban artist Alexandre Arrechea.

Published: Mar 10, 2010

SAVANNAH, Ga.—The SCAD exhibitions department presents “The Rules of Play,” the first solo show in the Southeast by Cuban artist Alexandre Arrechea. The exhibition showcases the artist’s prolific interdisciplinary practice featuring drawings, sculpture and video from the past five years.

Using metaphorical references from architecture and design, and games and sport, Arrechea meticulously crafts and depicts seemingly impractical objects that belie complex, thought-provoking and clever observations about the constructs of power in our globalizing society.

Formerly a member of the art collective “Los Carpinteros,” Arrechea left the group in 2003 to further his career as a solo artist. Over the past several years, Arrechea's interdisciplinary, conceptually driven and impeccably crafted works have garnered him international acclaim.

Arrechea graduated from the Instituto Superior de Arte in Havana in 1994. Since then, his work has been exhibited widely in the U.S. and abroad at Prospect.1 New Orleans in 2008, at the Taipei Biennial in 2006, at the Moscow Biennale in 2007, and in solo exhibitions at the Katzen Arts Center, American University, Washington, D.C., in 2008 and the San Diego Museum of Art, Calif., in 2007, among others.

“The Rules of Play” will be on view at Gutstein Gallery, Savannah, Ga., March 9-April 30. The exhibition will then travel to ACA Gallery of SCAD, Atlanta, Ga., May 6-July 2.
