Juan Carlos Delgodo

CUARTO NOTE



This is a brass bust, made by the artist Juan Carlos Delgado. He has embedded refrigeration coils inside the sculpture. The stand houses the refrigeration unit. As the refrigerant runs through the cooling pipes inside the sculpture, ice crystals form all over the sculpture.






The entire sculpture transforms into a different art piece over time. This is a performance art piece in my mind. The sculpture is taking on a life of it's own through the transformation of ice crystals.



Once the refrigerator cooling system is shut off, the sculpture returns to its original state.
