Marti and the Flour Factory

"Astonished by the controversy that was stirred up by the proposed demolition of an old 19th-century flour mill in my hometown on the outskirts of Barcelona, I decided to take the building to New Mexico. I carried out the whole project with my own hands, as an act of faith to save the heritage of my hometown. I built a copy of the original flour mill, brick by brick, in Santa Fe. After the exhibition closes, the building will be handed over to the city to take its place among the existing adobe structures for any function, besides being an artwork. Meanwhile the old mill is still in place, waiting for its future to be decided time alone will tell." - Martí Anson
