Carlos Rolón/Dzine: Ace of Fades at Monique Meloche Gallery, Chicago
In a new site-specific installation, produced for the gallery’s on the wall project space for the summer of 2016, Rolón re-creates the communal atmosphere of an urban barbershop.
Melding painting, sculpture, and found objects, Carlos Rolón/Dzine’s art practice explores the ways in which culture, both popular and historic, influences the public and private spaces that we inhabit. As a first-generation immigrant of Puerto Rican decent, Rolón creates work that questions the concepts of luxury and craft-making to explore issues of identity, integration and aspiration.
