Taking advantage of his background in design he is continually testing spectator reaction in front of mass media products. He is questioning what makes an art work to fall into the category of art.

Where does the need to classify things come from? Libraries have books organized by subjects, authors, titles; chiropractors evaluate their patients´ health status by determining the mechanical disorders of the spine and musculoskeletal system. Categorization is a tool for us to better understand the qualities of objects and individuals.

I took a day´s tour with Art-Havana (art-havana.com), an online gallery created to meet the growing international demand for Cuban art, who also arrange guided tours of artists´ studio-homes... I learned more about modern Cuba from these artists in one day than I did in the rest of my two-week trip.
