6500 tons of sand were transported from the Sumapaz river (not that far from Bogota) to put the exhibition together. The sand has to have certain conditions for the 25 foot tall pieces, and it’s extracted from the bottom of the river, which is called New Sand in the “Sand World”.

Diva Gash
Patricia | January 5th, 2012
I have to agree that, as an artist, being born in a Latin country is almost a curse, but as much as it comes with suffering the fact that the world expects us to be upholstered with the cliches that have haunted us since Carmen Miranda, it is always great surprise. Read More
