Los Carpinteros have been invited by the Museum Folkwang, Essen to create a striking alveolar installation that will become a part of the Museum’s permanent collection. Standing as a sculpture that follows from the Cuban duo’s Reading Room series, Helm/Helmet/Yelmo (2014) will provide a new context in which to display the Museum’s ‘Archaeology, Global Art and Applied Arts Collection’ started by Karl Ernst Osthaus.
