Diango Hernández in group show “Birds, plants and a chair,” Düsseldorf, Germany

“Opaque Waters is the title of an installation mainly composed by two objects, both of a familiar nature to us all. At your left hand -if you are standing in front of the gallery wall in which they hang from- there is a stretched fragment of a 1940’s table cloth that has been mounted on a heavy plexiglass, with same measurements, both the table cloth and the plexiglass, give you the impression that ‘something’ is hidden between them. The other object is a Hi-Fi sound amp that hangs from the wall as a picture frame does. In this case the amp is disconnected from the power so it is in silence, its only function is to be the support of a printed image, a digitally generated map of all Atlantic retired hurricanes.” Diango Hernández

Waltman Ortega’s White Room

Miami, FL 33127

Waltman Ortega Fine Art gallery presents “Hybrid”, a solo exhibition of recent works by Jorge Enrique (USA/b. Cuba).

Tearing down the veil of the urban culture is Jorge Enrique’s leitmotiv. The Cuban-American artist resembles the contrasted city which has been inspiring him for over a decade – Miami – a true gateway of the Americas. For him, it is all about capturing the urban tension and then rendering his own recomposed vision. Considering himself a multimedia artist, he often blurs the lines between painting, sculpture, print-making and photography.

María Elena González wins Grand Prize at 30th Biennial of Graphic Arts Ljubljana

published in Articles tags : art, Basel, Bienal of Graphic Arts, Contemporary Cuban Art, Cuba, cuban american art, Cuban American artist, Cuban Art, cuban artist, Cuban Avante Garde, Cuban Culture, Ljubljana, Maria Elena Gonzalez, New York City, Slovenia, Switzerland Comments (0)

The jury, whose members included Tev Logar (president), Chema de Francisco, Sally Tallant and Dusica Kirjakovic, awarded the Grand Prize of the 30th Biennial of Graphic Arts to Cuban artist María Elena González for her work The Tree Talk Series.

María Elena González (1957), born in Havana, Cuba, lives and works in New York and Basel, Switzerland. “Best known for sculptural installations that are architecturally as well as personally informed, one of González’s most recent series, Tree Talk, was inspired by her encounter with a fallen birch tree in the woods of the summer artist colony the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in Maine.

Jorge Rodriguez-Gerada’s 11 Acre Portrait in Belfast Field

published in Articles, Exhibits tags : art, Belfast, Belfast Festival, Contemporary Cuban Art, Cuba, cuban american art, Cuban American artist, Cuban Art, cuban artist, Cuban Avante Garde, Cuban Culture, Jorge Rodríguez Gerada, Northern Ireland, portrait, portraits, Rodriguez-Gerada Comments (0)

Belfast’s reputation for producing stuff that’s larger than life continues with a monumental artwork that comes a century after the sinking of the Titanic.

“Wish” is a portrait of a local 6-year-old girl that has been carved into an 11-acre field close to where the Harland and Wolff shipyard, birthplace of the massive doomed ship, once stood.

It’s the work of Cuban-American artist Jorge Rodriguez-Gerada, who has been known for creating enormous portraits such as one of Barack Obama on a Barcelona beachfront.

Ernesto Pujol’s “Social Choreography” in Lower Manhattan

published in Articles, Exhibits, Exhibits - New York City tags : art, Contemporary Cuban Art, Cuba, cuban american art, Cuban American artist, Cuban Art, cuban artist, Cuban Avante Garde, Cuban Culture, Ernesto Pujol, New York City, Performance art, performance artist, performng arts Comments (0)

Pujol was born in Cuba and raised there and in Puerto Rico. As a site-specific public performance artist, his work explores concepts of collective identity, spirituality, and the notion of the artist as a citizen and cultural worker. “I believe that everyone has the right to culture,” he has stated. “And I mean critical culture rather than entertainment. Critical culture is a human right.” His performance practice is based on walking—“durational group performances as public art,” as he states in his website, creating “psychic restorative portraits of peoples and places across the U.S.” Most recently, Pujol choreographed a work presented this past summer at the Istanbul Modern Art Museum, in collaboration with Jeffrey Baykal-Rollins and the Silsila Collective.

Time After Us was presented as part of “Crossing the Line,” an annual festival of interdisciplinary and performance art presented in New York by the French Institute Alliance Française. It took place in Saint Paul’s Chapel, one of the oldest churches in New York, which opened for Episcopal services in 1776.

Humberto Castro – “Tracing Antilles”

published in Exhibits, Exhibits - Miami tags : art, Contemporary Cuban Art, Cuba, cuban american art, Cuban American artist, Cuban Art, cuban artist, Cuban Avante Garde, Cuban Culture, FIU, Frost Art Museum, Humberto Castro, Miami Comments (0)

16 October – 16 February 2014

Opening Reception October 16th from 6-9pm

The Patricia & Phillip Frost Art Museum at FIU

10975 SW 17th St.
Miami, FL

Humberto Castro executes an artistic journey across the Antilles in an ever-transforming exhibition that conceptually circumnavigates the islands of the Caribbean. FIU’s Frost Art Museum commissioned the Cuban-born contemporary artist to create a new multimedia site-specific installation entitled Tracing Antilles. Curated by Ana Estrada, the exhibition is the result of an artistic investigation of the historical events that have shaped the region’s cultures through colonization and emigration.

Humberto Jesús Castro García (Havana, Cuba, 1957– ) is one of the most active members of the “Generation of the 1980s,” which transformed the aesthetic and conceptual art scene of Cuba. He studied at the San Alejandro National School of Fine Arts and at the Higher Institute of Art in Havana. In 1983 he founded the creative team “Hexagon” in which, alongside other artists, he mounted installations aimed at provoking public participation in the work. In 1999, he moved to the United States and currently lives and works in Miami.

Antonia Eiriz’s at MDC

MDC Museum of Art & Design, Freedom Tower

600 Biscayne Blvd.
Miami, FL

The sweeping canvases of the late Cuban painter Antonia Eiriz are not always easy to view. That is not to say they are harsh and hard — very little overt violence is expressed in these works; but the blurred faces and figures are contorted, silently shouting out in pain, or they are just silently suffering.

Many of her works — thought to walk the line between expressionism and abstraction — are covering the walls of MDC Museum of Art + Design at the Freedom Tower, a huge space well-suited to this retrospective of an artist under-appreciated in the United States, and Miami (although not by many within the art community). In fact, this is the biggest exhibit of her work, called Antonia Eiriz: A Painter and Her Audience.

In an interesting addition, curator and artist Michele Weinberg has included a number of contemporary artists who have been influenced by Eiriz. The variety of works highlighted in this section — from Luisa Basnuevo and Nereida Garcia-Ferraz to Ana Mendieta, Glexis Novoa and Tomas Sanchez — underscore that Eiriz’s influence was far broader than simply imparting the tricks of the trade to a new group of emerging artists.

The Pearl – Enrique Martinez Celaya – Sante Fe

July 13–October 13, 2013

SITE Santa Fe

1606 Paseo de Peralta
Santa Fe, NM

In The Pearl, Cuban American artist Enrique Martínez Celaya takes up the drama of youth, wrought as it is with fear, wonder, trepidation and exuberance, in various proportions, and explores both the deterioration of memory and memory’s role in informing the present.

The Pearl is an immersive environment that sprawls across the entirety of SITE Santa Fe’s 12,000 square feet of gallery spaces. Utilizing painting, sculpture, sound, video, and light, the artist creates various installations threaded together by a continuous clear plastic tube of circulating water. The viewer follows the flow of the water from gallery to gallery in a manner suggestive of following a narrative. However, the individual installations are more akin to rhythmic pulses within a meandering melody, or emotional beats within a theatrical performance. They are better described as moments of encounter, sparsely arranged in the vast gallery space, replete with both climaxes and spaces of silence.

Facebook ha cancelado la página del artista plástico cubano Erik Ravelo por un supuesto “autolesionismo”, en relación con fotografías de su campaña Los Intocables, a favor de la infancia.

“Parece que la gente empezó a quejarse. Es absurdo, porque mis fotos no son agresivas, forman parte de una campaña de sensibilización a favor de la infancia”, señaló el artista.

Anteriormente, The Huffington Post se había hecho eco de su campaña social en Estados Unidos, pero la versión italiana del famoso portal izquierdista censuró la foto del religioso.

An exhibition opening next month at the Smithsonian American Art Museum, “Our America: The Latino Presence in American Art,” will highlight a chapter of art history that remains a secret to far too many Americans.

Since joining the Smithsonian in 2010, E. Carmen Ramos, the curator of Latino art at the American Art Museum, has had an ambitious mandate: to strengthen our holdings of Latino art and present that collection in a fresh way. “Our America,” which she curated, will display the results of that quest so far. It will include 92 works (by 72 artists), fully 63 of which have been acquired since 2011.

This exhibit is well represented by Cuban American Artists including Luis Cruz Azaceta, Maria Brito, Maria Magdalena Campos-Pons, Teresita Fernandez, Ana Mendieta, Abelardo Morell, Maria Martinez-Cañas, Arturo Rodriguez, Emilio Sanchez, and Rafael Soriano.

24 September – 15 December 2013

Southbank Centre,

Belvedere Rd

London, UK

This autumn The Hayward Gallery presents Ana Mendieta: Traces, the UK’s first retrospective of one of the most significant yet under-acknowledged artists of the late 20th century. In addition to films, sculptures, photographs, drawings, personal writings and notebooks, an extensive research room with hundreds of photographic slides unique access to works Ana Mendieta could never show during her short life.

The exhibition at Hayward Gallery, the first in a UK public institution solely devoted to the artist, will show the full breadth of Ana Mendieta’s work. Mendieta was part of a generation of innovative artists whose work no longer fitted the conventions of exhibition making and collecting art. Covering her entire career, and revealing different facets of her unique practice, this timely exhibition will position Mendieta as an influential figure from art history, reveal the creative mind of the artist, and convey the legacy of her work as well as its relevance for artists today.

Essay by Joanne Milani, FMoPA Board of Trustees

“I know how men in exile feed on dreams” Aeschylus

Look, but don’t touch. Reach, but don’t grasp. Dream, but don’t wake up. That is how an exile feels about the homeland he cannot reclaim, and that is how Mario Algaze feels about Cuba. Born in Cuba in 1947, he remembers a happy childhood in the well-to-do Art Deco Havana neighborhood of Miramar. He can recall “the smell of seaweed and saltwater washing on the rocks.”
It was a magical time. He remembers his mother taking him to the ballet, and he remembers seeing the Alec Guinness movie, Our Man in Havana being filmed on the streets of the city. All this ended when he was 13 years old. That’s when he was brought to Miami by his parents. He was 52 years old before he was able to return.
