Carlos Fresquez’s Un Corrido Para La Gente is an assemblage of sculptural forms inspired
by items you might find in the surrounding neighborhood shops, or Mercado district. An oversized
guitar, hand-painted with a representation of an eagle, is topped by a wheel and a crown.
These sculptural forms connect to a sculpture of a shovel through a colorful, kinetic papel picado
swinging in the breeze. The artwork creates a new playful and vibrant gateway to the Morrison Rd.
and Sheridan Blvd. streetscape.

In November of 2009 I worked with Silo Workshop to help install Carlos Fresquez's sculpture
Un Corrido Para La Gente. The piece was fabricated by Silo Workshop from Fresquez's original sketches.
