Abraham Cruzvillegas a visual artist best known for his work with found objects. As a sculptor and writer, Cruzvillegas began as a central participant in a new wave of conceptual art in Mexico City during the 1980s and 90s. Since 2007, Cruzvillegas has produced a series of works exploring what he calls autoconstrucción, or self-construction, using found materials and improvisation. Autoconstrucción is in part inspired by his hometown of Ajusco, a neighborhood that was mostly built by collective effort in the south of Mexico City.
