RAÚL DE NIEVES: FINA

«Fina» is the first solo museum exhibition by Raúl de Nieves (b. 1983, Michoacán, Mexico). Through processes of accumulation and a celebration of excess, de Nieves transforms humble materials into spectacular objects and immersive narrative environments. Presented by the Cleveland Museum of Art, «Raúl de Nieves: Fina» features a new site-specific installation of figurative sculptures on a central mirrored structure in the museum Transformer Station’s main gallery. De Nieves mines personal and collective histories, recombining fragments of the past to create timeless fantastical worlds.
