Assorted objects—wrist watches, an American Express card, carry-on bags—convey themes of travel, time, and mobility. Gonzalo Hernandez displays trappings of an artist engaged in a global art world who maintains a semi-nomadic lifestyle in order to fully participate. Based on a photograph of the artist’s own watch, a pair of Casios echoes a well-known artwork featuring two clocks by the late Felix Gonzalez-Torres. The legacy of Gonzalez-Torres is especially prominent in Miami, where Hernandez lives. The American Express card evokes economic privilege and purchasing power, but also anxiety from using debt to finance materials, projects, and travel. The way in which a credit score can alternately empower or disenfranchise an individual is a uniquely American phenomenon, one that the artist finds disconcerting following his relocation from Peru to the United States. The woven fabric surfaces refer to traditional Peruvian textiles, and Hernandez infuses the medium with contemporary subject matter that resonates with his own position as an artist navigating multiple cultures.
