ARTReview: "No Longer Hidding in Plain Sight"
Álvaro Urbano incorporates a decommissioned public artwork-cum-furniture by American postminimalist artist Scott Burton in his new installation at New York’s SculptureCenter – prompting Jenny Wu to question what happens to a work when it’s displayed outside of its intended context: ‘Urbano’s vision is at odds with Burton’s aim and risks obfuscating the dissembling and demotic spirit of the latter’s public art.

“You realize that people were thinking in a bigger, cosmic way, while now it feels like we’re just trapped in technology. That’s important, obviously, but it seems to be mimicking what already exists in nature. Many of these new systems are flawed because they attempt to replicate something that has already been done. I’m not saying not to try, but it feels like a battle that needs to unfold. It’s a wait-and-see moment for me. In the meantime, we’re still human; we still have bodies, and we need to experience things. That’s what makes us feel alive”. Read the interview at Arterritory.
