SOLO EXHIBITION
FIGGE MUSEUM
Davenport, IA
No Shoes, No Shirt, No Service
29 June 2013- 6 October 2013
Chicago-based artist Juan Angel Chavez works with salvaged wood and other discarded materials to create dynamic, sculptural assemblages that celebrate the intrinsic value of ordinary, and seemingly banal, objects. The tears, stains, abrasions and other imperfections that mar the surface of the material he collects provide a lasting record of an object’s complex history. For the Figge, Chavez will construct a site-specific installation composed of material gathered in the Quad Cities. Entitled No Shoes, No Shirt, No Service, the installation will take the form of a web-like structure reminiscent of the temporary shelters that animals (and humans) construct for their survival. In his use of refuse and other found objects, Chavez seeks to draw attention to socially deviant behavior and other “unwanted” activities.

A site specific installation based on the idea of nothing going to waste and the processes of recycling and reusing residue and the remnants of buildings.
USI University of Southern Indiana
Scrapping the bowl
Opening Reception: April 14 from 5-7 PM
Exhibition: April 14 -May 27 2012
As part of the residency program, Juan Angel Chávez will generate materials for his installation that will explore the concepts and connections of desire, nostalgia, residue and process. Through a series of events, the image of preservation and survival will be reflected through the means of repurposing, burning, chain sawing and shooting.
