Sloppy Joe’s Bar – dream
Sloppy Joe’s Bar – dream, 1995
Installation. Wood and tile bar painted by hand, wine, photographs, juke box, music, glasses, and shelves.
A formidable piece that proposes to unravel the enigma of a former Havana city bar. The “Sloppy Joes’s Bar” installation is a curious artistic-archeological work in which its author overflows its narrative and restorative potentialities, while questioning the reality that surrounds it. The traces of the real installation, which was once crowded and appreciated not only for its fine drinks and liquors, but also for its connotation as a preferential environment of attractive rendezvous for chosen ones, are the starting point for a recreation that aims to somehow restore the immanent mysteries of yesteryear.
