This monumental sculpture, built out of plywood, creates parallels between the diasporas of
the Americans through language and visual forms of abstraction. With references to the Land
Art of the 1960s and early 1970s, in terms of its resistance to the logic of consumerist art and
the interest in reconnecting to ancient geometric principles and the pragmatic use of materials;
Cordova’s lando, landu (yaway mallku) is epic.

The notion of translation is key in Cordova’s work, the shifting from English, Quechua, Spanish,
even Creole in his titles parallel the shifts, turns and cuts made in his constructions. References
similarly have an impact on the blur of original meanings with the creation of new meanings.
The installation of lando, landu (yarwar mallku) is a replica, over 14 metres in length, of the
Millennium Falcon from the film The Empire Strikes Back, produced by George Lucas. Lando, in
turn, is an Afro-Peruvian musical tradition, a term derived from the Angolan term Landu, also
found in Cuba. Similarly, the falcon is a sacred bird in Inca culture. As Cordova moves through
seemingly disjunctive references, he ultimately creates an amalgamation. And what better
location for the fusion of time, space, history, memory and fiction than the narrative platform
of science fiction, not only in its Hollywood representation but also in the conceptualization of
Afro Futurism in Sun Ra’s film Space Is the Place (1972), which uses science fiction as a symbol
of resistance; or with the quotation from the science fiction writer H. G. Wells: “Human history
is in essence a history of ideas” are inspirations.

William Cordova’s work is tied to an aesthetic of inner city landscapes, reflecting its temporality
and disparity. Through drawing, video, sculpture, and installation filled with urban detritus busted cars, trashed tires, discarded shoes, machetes, speakers, and yellowed books - the artist
references the reality of lived experience, as opposed to the dramatization of a consumerist
culture. The ease with which Cordova switches between media demonstrates his impressive
visual dexterity. Using a language of refuse and dilapidated buildings, he paints grand portraits
of deteriorating cultural icons.
Moby Dick (para Oscar Wilde,
Oscar Romero y Oscar Grant)
2008-2009
Cordova’s sculpture, Moby Dick (for Oscar Wilde, Oscar Romero y Oscar Grant), consists of
half a police cruiser set atop blocks and sealed with plywood. The exterior of the car is spray
painted, or “tagged,” recalling a history of aerosol-based subversive self-expression popular
among Black and Latino artists in the 1970s and 80s. Branded on the car are names of several
social activists and figures in the history of civil rights such as (Eldridge) Cleaver, Geronimo,
(Betty) Shabazz, and Sitting Bull. Inside the car, behind heavily tinted windows, are a series of
seemingly unrelated objects: a machine gun; a Peruvian gourd; record album jackets; a boom
box; and a customized bookshelf of the referenced authors. In doing so, Cordova creates a
meditative space for reflection apart from the outside world, one not unlike Moby Dick’s quiet
abode inside the white whale.

The house that Frank Lloyd
Wright built 4 Fred Hampton
and Mark Clark
Whitney Biennial 2008
Addressing the fragility of history through an ephemeral environment, The House that Frank Lloyd
Wright built 4 Fred Hampton and Mark Clark (2006), shown at Arndt & Partner Berlin in 2006,
is a dizzying room-scale labyrinth of wooden beams based on the footprint of the house where
Black Panthers Fred Hampton and Mark Clark were killed by Chicago police in a predawn raid in
1969. Much of Cordova’s work induces similarly uncanny interpretive spirals, abetted not by arbitrary
Surrealist juxtapositions but the all-too-common strangeness of our own detritus and the too-often
repressed histories they conceal.
