ARTIST FEATURE & INTERVIEW WITH CARLOS MARTIEL
by Performance is Alive
This year performance art pervaded Miami Art Week 2015 (for better and for worse). Most notably at the non-traditional, multi-destination, Satellite Fair organized by Brian Wheatley and the curatorial project “Time Sensitive” curated by Jesús Fuenmayor at Pinta Miami. As you can imagine, the sheer density of events, shows and performances prohibited us (Alexandra Hammond + myself) from being able to view the full performance roster at either fair but we were determined to catch Carlos Martiel’s durational work at Pinta Miami. Martiel caught my attention last October for his durational performance, “Segregation” at Samson Projects (Boston) where he stood motionless between two layers of barbed wire. Upon entry, audience members were separated by country of origin and viewed the performance from opposing sides. Martiel notes on his website, “One of the entryways permitted the entrance of U.S. born whites and Europeans. The other, permitted the entrance of blacks, latinos, asians, and middle easterners, as well as any individual who was not European or U.S. born white. People were not allowed to mix for the duration.”

December 2 – 6, 2015.
Curated by Jesús Fuenmayor.
“Dictadura” (Dictatorship) is the title of the performance that Cuban artist Carlos Martiel presents as part of “Time Sensitive – Pinta Projects.” Martiel aims to reflect on the history of dictatorship in Latin America and the diversity of the Latin and Latino communities in Miami. In his performance Martiel shows himself naked and tied to a flagpole, while at the same time a flag is raised. He will present the same performance for the duration of the art fair, each day with a different flag. The flags will be taken from the 21 Latin American countries that were (or still are) under a dictatorial regime, in some instances supported by the Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation, also known as the School of the Americas.

COURT SQUARE STUDIOS is pleased to present the first group show exhibition of Francisco Bustamante, Carlos Martiel, Jake Scharbach.
Curated by Manuela Viera-Gallo
The three pieces presented in Crossing Boundaries unfold from the Self of their authors: their experiences, the reality of their everyday lives, the city they live in, their being men. They are made palpable through the visual as well as the impulses which sink their roots in the magma of the unconscious. The corporal expressionism of the work is evident: there is distress, there is resistance, there is denunciation. They speak of suffering and the threat of a diffuse violence that runs through American life.

Durational performance produced as part of the group exhibition Time Sensitive curated by Jesús Fuenmayor.
December 2 – 6, 2015.
As part of PINTA Miami’s curatorial projects this year, curator Jesús Fuenmayor will present a series of artistic proposals that explore the incorporation of time in the work of art, focusing on works that are sensitive to the relation between the temporal and the spatial. The idea is to bring together a group of works by prominent artists from Ibero-America (Latin America, Spain and Portugal); created by well-established artists as well as by younger generations, but all of whom take up the question of time, one of the most defining elements in contemporary art’s reception. Here, the incorporation of time in the artwork is essential since it functions as a trigger that makes the fair’s public sensitive to its perceptual conditions and the paradoxes that govern this context.

Carlos Martiel es un grito que se ha apoderado de otros gritos. Ahora reside en New York y sus performances dan cuenta del lanzamiento de su cuerpo hacia la violencia extra verbal, silenciosa a veces.
Este joven artista habanero, nacido en 1989 y Graduado de la Academia Nacional de Bellas Artes “San Alejandro”, ha dejado pedazos de su piel –literalmente- en lugares en que ha expuesto sobre la inmigración ilegal, los abusos del poder o el mito que ronda hoy por las apariencias humanas.
Hace solo una semana realizó Legado: se enterró -en una galería neoyorquina-, en dos grandes vasijas llenas de café importado de Haití y Jamaica, países de donde sus abuelos emigraron a Cuba en la década de 1920.
