"Home Sweet Home" Osvaldo Puente works with soil as a symbol of the everday mans desire, to secure a piece earth. And the distance covered in which to find it. A significant percentage of the world population has migrated over time, and you could safely say that just about everyones ancestory came from somewhere other than where they live today.
Osvaldo Puente works with soil as a symbol of the everday
mans desire, to secure a piece earth. And the distance
covered in which to find it. A significant percentage of the
world population has migrated over time, and you could
safely say that just about everyones ancestory came from
somewhere other than where they live today.
In the piece Home Sweet Home Osvaldo questions the
comparisions and choices between nomad and sedentary
existense, cross migration, settling, and adaptation of
people from one land, culture and language to another. The
journey in search for land for what ever reason that may
be.

The BBQ Project is a series of 17 weekly site-specific art
exhibitions taking place at various locations in Berlin
throughout the summer. Each event is accompanied by an
on site picnic. Although the core curatorial team are
Australian, the BBQ Project is exhibiting emerging and
established artists from all over the world. To reach a wider
audience, the site-specific work will be thoroughly
documented on slide, video formats. An image from each
week's show will be made available on the web site
where we will also publish
information on upcoming events. Documentation of each
artist's work will be presented in the BBQ Project Gallery on
