Much of Abraham Cruzvillegas’s work is informed by autoconstrucción, a concept derived from the collaborative and resourceful methods of building homes from found objects implemented in his childhood neighborhood, Ajusco, a district south of Mexico City. These principles underpin Rastrojo, assembled from elements of the artist’s past projects. Hung from a trio of overlapping hoops, the sculptural components suggest a Venn diagram under which disparate objects and lives intersect to generate new meanings and contexts. Rastrojo, or “stubble” in English, calls to mind the beginnings of fresh growth, a generative space to cultivate new ways of relating to art and one another. This work will be activated by SFMOMA staff members at the artist’s invitation.
