self-contained reply to what is observed in the social sphere.<br \/>\nThe artist takes up the architectural structure of the pyramid from the Classic Mesoamerican period and pays a tongue-in-cheek tribute to two building phenomena linked to our culture: The superposition and imposition of new buildings over previous structures, and the tradition of keeping dwellings in a state of perpetual construction.<br \/>\nBy superimposing building elements and contemporary organizations associated with the lack of urban law and order, the work approaches the culture of self-protection as an issue of social and political immediacy. Each floor of the pyramid represents an era: from rock walls to jagged pieces of glass, barbed wire, electrified wire, surveillance cameras and electric lighting. Every level refers to a new stage in the struggle for citizens\u2019 safety and an exponential need for protection. Lieberman uses these illusory mechanisms of popular civil protection to make a sharp comment on the way each new structure is imposed on the previous one with the false premise and barefaced pretense of security.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\">Giovanna Esposito<\/p>\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Presented in Sala de Arte P\u00fablico Siqueiros, Mexico City March \u2013 May 2010 During the exhibition, the artist invited Ensamble Graffiti composed of Aerials, Sish, Ruetser, Overseas and Kze24 to take over the construction, giving way to a &#8220;before and after&#8221; that replicates the relationship of urban architecture with street art.
