MAOF
San Juan, PR
MAOF is a place with tools and a project that examines the material culture in Puerto Rico, where things and waste abound. At MAOF we reflect on the content in forms, objects and places. We treat materials as cultural goods that we collect, try to use gracefully, and distribute among artists and friends.
We insist on collaborating even if we live apart, there is not enough time to do it, a large part of the world has been convinced that time is money and there are fewer and fewer things that can be done without money.
We believe in the power of painting, friendship and in free time and space.

Artist BioGlosario de técnicas constructivas para el caribe (GTCC) is a tool to gather knowledge and practice construction between land and sea.
It intends to be a reciprocal time machine that links to ways of making latent in chronicles, in drawings, in the bodies of those who practiced them, in the forests where the materials live, in a remnant of a foundation and in a construction that is about to be done
It must be a tool that when thinking for example about the channeling and collection of water, suggests thinking about steam currents, basins, the sea, navigation and the body of the fish.
