Quote from Parkett
“At the same time, I like to think of them as shamanic objects that wield great powers, even though they may not be made from precious materials …”.
Doryun Chong, Parkett No. 97, 2015

Additional Quote
“Following Cruzvillegas' concept of "autoconstrucción", this piece takes the form of a game akin to Mikado—the 34-colored bamboo sticks can be taken out of their individual grooves and by using the color guide of the artist’s key ideas printed on the silkscreen, can be arranged into configurations in order to make an automatic decision, an Autoconclusión. Different hues correspond to different ideas, ranging from "indecent" to "coherent with the landscape". This lighthearted multiple transmits the characteristic joy of Cruzvillegas' practice.” -Fineartmultiple

Artist Contribution to Parkett 100/101

“An educational device like Parkett creates in the long term precise conditions for knowledge, language and discursive production: generously making tools and information available, transformable, back to all of us. We need more strategies like Parkett, an amphibious miraculous entity that belongs to our times and ages, giving evidence on how it is still possible to smile in such a strange and destructive society: axolotl lives in muddy water.”
