Heide Hatry’s exhibition of 'Not a Rose' certainly shows a different view on flowers. The exhibition presents animal innards as soft arrangements of springtime flowers. These picturesque works of art are macro photographs that have been reproduced by pro-armature photographers. The aesthetic views are definitely unique throughout the series.
Cuban art collective Los Carpinteros has created an art of past political events. Irreversible combines different historical activates from Cuba’s past that are still remembered today. Within the exhibition are masses of porcelain tomatoes representing being thrown at during a protest. Lego sculptures are made to represent the Cold War Era monuments. This exhibition is a great example of art bringing back history.
