A contemporary tribute to Taíno ancestory in a site-specific installation by Puerto Rican-born artist Jorge Crespo (b. 1963). Built of indigenous Caribbean materials including fiber, wood, gourds, leaves, and branches, Coaybay's deeply symbolic space will replicate the continous cycle of life, death, and regeneration in pre-Columbian cosmology. Crespo has enjoyed several one-person NY Gallery and alternate space shows. This participation in Contemporánea '97 will mark his first solo Manhattan Museum exhibition.
