Leyden Rodriguez-Casanova presents conceptual works created of found materials in the New Proposals section of Zona MACO.  Cuban born Leyden acts as a curator of found materials that reflect the multicultural landscape of the United States.  His interest in the visual and functional systems inherently present in these objects is evident in his arrangements.  This installation is presented by Miami based Alejandra von Hartz Gallery.
