About the Exhibition
In Tran-sit is an outdoor sculptural installation by the celebrated Cuban artist Yoan Capote. Located on the sidewalk near the entrance of 21c Museum Hotel Bentonville, the sculpture functions like a bench in public space. It explores the experiences of traveling and emigration. When visitors sit on the piece, they look like travelers and emigrants; and when they leave the bench, the action symbolizes someone metaphorically leaving luggage or memories behind. The weight of the piece also alludes to the significance of these experiences in life.
