Onay Rosquet (*1987, Havana)
Onay Rosquet (Havanna, *1987) takes inventory of our lives. He demonstrates: We can not give up our “attachments”, cannot live on bread alone. As insignificant as every object, every meaning appears, in their totality they show our life.
The exhibition ATTACHMENTS is his second solo exhibition in Zurich. The latest work presented is a continuation of his series of collection of objects shown in 2017.

Enrique Báster (*1973, Holguín)
Absolute abstraction does not exist in art. Enrique Báster does not even propose it. Their series tend bridges towards more or less identifiable referents; It is perfectly possible to glimpse certain metaphors. And titles often illuminate ideas.
In overcrowding there is, obviously, overcrowding: agglomeration of elements that seem to look for an escape point. The notion of order has been put into crisis, although some logic persists in that chaos.
In Virus the alteration of a fabric is remarkable. The color and the stroke pose a disturbing “landscape” that evokes the invasive capacity of a toxin.
