Juan Carlos stated off with a generic piece or art and transformed it into a piece of multi media. He was able to control his piece to work alongside time allowing it to become a multi media piece. Multi media, by definition according to Professor Santiago Evecherry, is a series of time controlling tools working together. The piece of art I am referring to is called Cuarto Norte. The sculpture is working with the cold temperature to transform over time in to something completely different. It transformed from a piece of well sculpted copper to something that leaves me at a loss for words. Looking at the two pictures above, nothing but time and cold weather separates the two sculptures. They in fact are the same sculpture, therefore leaving one with the exact definition of multi media.
While the sculpture above represents multi media, the the gallery that the artist created has a much deeper definition. The sculpture is surrounded by nothingness. It is set apart form everything especially the opposing piece of art on the opposite side of the room. Through frozen bars one can see sculpted hands but instead of containing ice like the girl's head, it is holding fire. The hands are the hands of his wife and the fire lights up the room. The hands are warm like the gentle touch of woman and wife. While I do not see an obvious link between the two pieces besides the difference in texture and temperature, they do demonstrate the idea of multi media.
