What will the last piece of art ever to be made by a human look like before we disappear from the face of the earth? With this question in mind, 31-year-old Argentinian artist Adrián Villar Rojas created his imposing installation at the (current) 54th Venice Biennale (June 4, 2011 – November 27, 2011). Located in a privileged space at the Artigliere in the very heart of the Arsenale, his project consists of a group of oversized site-specific sculptures made of clay over a framework of cement, burlap and wood; the ‘larger than life’ installation is enigmatically entitled “The Murderer of Your Heritage.”
