Diango Hernández, "If I send you this"

As you might expect in an artist from Castro's Cuba, Hernández deals abstractly with notions of freedom and restriction. Here, he presents collages, paintings and installations that loosely refer to Gordon Matta-Clark's 1975 site-specific work, Days End, which featured a large hole in the shape of a cat's eye cut into the far wall of a shed covering the pier that used to extend from Gansevoort Street. In one piece, for instance, Hernández has excised similarly shaped chunks from the gallery walls, repurposing them as tables for an imaginary office of "international transit and transition."
