Alexandre Arrechea (Cuba, 1970) graduated from the Instituto Superior de Arte (ISA) in Havana in 1994. For twelve years, he was a member of the art collective Los Carpinteros, until he left the group in July 2003 to pursue a solo career. His public art involves concepts of power and its web of hierarchies, surveillance, control, prohibitions, and subjugation. The viewer's participation in the work adds to its contemplation. The work emerges from human actions and reactions in the face of contemporary versions of the world as described by Jeremy Bentham in the 18th century. The Eye of Power watches everything and everyone, and everyone watches everyone else and themselves. The interdisciplinary quality of Alexandre Arrechea's work reveals a profound interest in exploring both public and domestic spaces. This quest has led him to produce several monumental projects such as “Ciudad Transportable” (2000), “The Garden of Mistrust” (2003-2005) and “Perpetual Free Entrance” (2006).
