BIENAL DE CUENCA PRESENTA LISTA DE ARTISTAS INVITADOS E IMAGEN DE LA XIV EDICIÓN

Apr 232018
 
A

Entre los meses de agosto y octubre de 2017, la Bienal de Cuenca receptó 130 portafolios de artistas ecuatorianos que fueron remitidos al curador de la XIV edición, Jesús Fuenmayor. El comisario venezolano preseleccionó 20 carpetas de artistas nacionales cuyos talleres visitó en Cuenca, Guayaquil y Quito. Tras ese ciclo de visitas, Fuenmayor eligió trece nombres que se suman a los cuarenta artistas internacionales invitados directamente por el curador. Aunque la totalidad contabiliza 53 invitados en tanto hay varios artistas que trabajan en pareja o forman parte de un colectivo, serán 45 los proyectos u obras a presentarse dentro de la muestra oficial, 26 de los cuales son obras comisionadas expresamente para la ocasión. Esto y otros detalles vinculados al evento se darán a conocer este jueves en la rueda de prensa programada por la institución.

A

Adicionalmente, será la ocasión en que la Bienal presente la imagen oficial de la XIV edición, desarrollada por el equipo de diseño y comunicación de la Bienal. Esta propuesta visual aspira reflejar el concepto de “Estructuras vivientes. El arte como experiencia plural” propuesto por Fuenmayor para el evento.

A

En el acto estará presente el Alcalde de la ciudad, Marcelo Cabrera Palacios; la representante en Cuenca del Ministerio de Cultura, Tamara Landívar; el Curador General, Jesús Fuenmayor; el Curador Pedagógico, Félix Suazo; el Director Ejecutivo de la entidad, Cristóbal Zapata y varios artistas locales e intencionales que son parte de los invitados a la muestra oficial.

Relational Undercurrents: Contemporary Art of the Caribbean Archipelago

Apr 172018
 

Reception: Thursday, May 31, 6-8 pm
June 1 – September 23, 2018

A

Relational Undercurrents is the first major survey of twenty-first century art of the Caribbean. It employs the archipelago as an analytical framework, focusing on locating thematic continuities in the art of the Caribbean islands, placing Hispanophone artists in visual conversation with those from Anglophone, Francophone, Dutch, and Danish backgrounds.

A

Relational Undercurrents works against traditional understandings of the Caribbean as discontinuous, isolated, and beyond comprehension as a result of heterogeneous populations, multiple linguistic traditions, and diverse colonial histories. Instead, Relational Undercurrents is divided into four sections: Conceptual Mappings, Perpetual Horizons, Landscape Ecologies and Representational Acts. Each grouping features artists whose works have informed and shaped those themes. Relational Undercurrents includes painting, installation art, sculpture, photography, video, and performance.

A

It is accompanied by a lavishly illustrated catalogue with essays by curators, critics, and scholars that discuss particular artistic traditions in Cuban, Puerto Rican, Dominican, and Haitian art, and theorize the broader decolonial and archipelagic conceptual frameworks within which such works are produced. The catalogue is coedited by Flores and Michelle Ann Stephens, Professor of English and Latino and Caribbean Studies at Rutgers University, New Brunswick. Stephens is coeditor of Archipelagic American Studies, also published by Duke University Press.

A Conversation with Carlos Martiel and Vivian Crockett

Mar 212018
 

March 28, 2018
19 hrs

A

Join us for a very special conversation in conjuction with our newest exhibition with artist Carlos Martiel and New York–based independent researcher, scholar, and curator Vivian Crockett as they discuss Martiel’s newest piece “Intruder (America)” in relationship to Martiel’s long-term performance practice and its themes.

A

Intruder (America) is the first of two iterations of a new performance by Cuban artist Carlos Martiel. The piece derives its inspiration from the current migratory crisis that has quickly intensified and exacerbated in the United States after the election of Donald Trump. Within this context, Crockett and Martiel will examine how themes such as migration, displacement, systemic violence, anti-black racism and xenophobia on global and nationally specific scales, among others, have informed Martiel’s practice and tactics of engagement.

She is a PhD candidate in art history at Columbia University whose dissertation examines artistic practices and discourses in Brazil in the sixties and seventies. Her scholarly and cultural work seeks to assert a radically political analysis of modern and contemporary art and to foster the remembrance and visioning of cultural spaces and practices that merge a commitment to artistic and cultural production with sociopolitical justice and collective liberation.

CARLOS MARTIEL, INTRUDER (AMERICA)

Feb 272018
 

OPENING RECEPTION AND PERFORMANCE: TUESDAY, MARCH 6, 2018 7 – 9PM
MARCH 6 – 30, 2018

A

AC Institute is pleased to present Intruder (America), a new piece by Carlos Martiel on March 6th, 2018 at 7 pm. The exhibition will be on view from March 6 – 30, 2018.

A

Intruder (America) is the first of two iterations of a new performance by Cuban artist Carlos Martiel. The piece derives its inspiration from the current migratory crisis that has quickly intensified and exacerbated in the United States after the election of Donald Trump.

A

As the first of a two-part piece being presented in the United States, the second piece will be presented in Europe. Both continents have an exceeding impact in the world’s migration pattern and have been the catalyst for the current migratory effects around the world. The piece reflects on the political migrations that have restricted access to immigrants and those seeking political asylum in the United States, similar to the xenophobia and hostility that many immigrant groups face today inside immigration detention centers.

Carlos Martiel en el CCK: charla abierta y performance El Centro en movimiento II – Viernes 16 de febrero, 18:30h – Sábado 17 de febrero, 19h

Feb 152018
 

El destacado artista cubano se presenta por partida doble

A

En el marco del ciclo El Centro en movimiento II. Máquinas e imaginarios –que tiene como protagonistas a la acción y la performance– el artista cubano reconocido a nivel internacional Carlos Martiel realiza dos actividades abiertas al público.

A

El sábado 17 presenta Encomienda, una performance inscripta en la línea en la que viene trabajando hace varios años y que aborda problemáticas como la raza, la otredad, la condición sexual, lo propio y lo ajeno. La fuerte presencia del cuerpo humano en la producción del artista tiene como objetivo concientizar y fomentar la memoria colectiva de todos aquellos que presencian sus actos performáticos. En palabras de la curadora invitada Marisa Caichiolo, “a Martiel no le interesa borrar cada trazo, cada huella; solo quiere que su cuerpo quede marcado con su historia, con sus raíces y la de sus antepasados; una marca imborrable que queda perpetuada para toda la vida.”

A

Previamente, el viernes 16 brinda una charla abierta en la que, junto a los curadores Marisa Caichiolo y Rodrigo Alonso, conversará sobre su proceso de creación –que tiene como eje a la acción performática– y repasará su trayectoria artística. ¿En qué consiste una performance? y ¿qué impacto genera o pretende alcanzar en su público? son algunas de las preguntas que abordarán Martiel y los curadores, en diálogo con el público. La actividad se inscribe en el ciclo Hablemos de Arte, que complementa la programación de Artes Visuales del CCK con charlas y conferencias que proponen nuevas miradas sobre los temas abordados en las exhibiciones y los demás ciclos.

A

Ambas actividades son gratuitas y con cupo limitado, por lo que requieren de reserva previa. La reserva se realizará en cada caso presentándose en el mostrador de atención al público (Sarmiento 151, Planta baja, Hall central) con DNI o pasaporte. La performance del sábado 17 es apta para mayores de 18 años.

Art Comes Alive in Representational Acts

Jan 312018
 

By Melina Paris for RANDOM LENGTHS NEWS

A

This past Saturday, the Cuban-born, New York-based artist, Carlos Martiel, stood unclothed, alone in a dark room. A motion sensor triggered by people walking in, illuminated a constellation on the artist’s body.

A

Stars from the flags of countries in the Western Hemisphere were fixed with string to his body. The artist stood completely still. Various- sized stars on his body and four more on the floor in front and behind him were lit in iridescent blue.

A

The constellation represented a conceptual map in which no state is superior to another. Instead, they come together within a unified field. The visual of Martiel’s nakedness cloaked in galactic darkness combined with the unprejudiced constellation that was sewn on to him was striking in its beauty; it also implied peace and fixed nature. The performance was called América.

A

Another perspective is that the performance asserted the legacy and history of the Western Hemisphere as if it’s written into the skin, indeed, into the very DNA of those of us rooted in the New World.
