American, born Cuba (Guáimaro, Cuba, 1957 - 1996, Miami, Florida)
Another important artist participating in the show "The Art of Participation", presented at the San Francisco MOMA, was Felix Gonzalez Torres. He participated with an installation with the title "Untitled" created in 1994. His work was really emotional and completely connected with his own life. Gonzalez Torres created this series of pieces, containing images related to his private life, and the idea (a beautiful concept) was for the viewer to be able to take pieces of the work and disperse them. The idea was to invite the public to interact with the artist. Gonzalez Torres declared, “I need the public to complete the work. I ask the public to help me, to take responsibility, to become part of my work, to join in."
