Juan Pablo Pinto & Cristian Rojas | The Hermitage

$12,000.00

Only 1 left in stock

This giant, slightly crushed tin can washed up on a rock shelf conflates the idea of the vessel as a squat for a homeless creature (crab or human) with that of an exclusive beach-front pad marketed by shameless real estate sharks.

The Hermitage is a visual paradox, an exploration of vast differences in people’s expectations of what it means to have a roof over one’s head.

Amid Australia’s housing crisis, pretentious and bloviated descriptions of prestige homes must read obscene to the many who struggle to find the most basic housing.

About the Artists

Sydney-based collaborators Juan-Pablo Pinto and Cristian Rojas were both born in Chile and arrived in Australia through different paths to continue their architecture careers. Cristian joined Cox Architecture, and Juan Pablo co-founded Sydney-based art and architecture collective Cave Urban. They later started teaching at different Universities, including USys, UTS, and UNSW UTas.
Their architectural background largely influences their artistic work. The scale, the relation to space and place, and the inclusion of the viewer as the element that completes the work are present in all their exhibitions.
