In Tran-sit

Cast solid concrete, bronze


In conjunction with the exhibition Cuba Now, 21c Museum presents In Tran-sit, 2002-2010, an outdoor sculptural installation by the celebrated Cuban artist Yoan Capote. Located on the sidewalk near the Seventh Street entrance of 21c Museum Hotel, the sculpture functions like a bench in public space. It explores the experiences of traveling and emigration. When visitors sit on the piece, they look like travelers and emigrants; and when they leave the bench, the action symbolizes someone metaphorically leaving luggage or memories behind. The weight of the piece also alludes to the signifigance of these experiences in life.
