CIFO, the Cisneros Fontanals Art Foundation, is a non-profit organization, established in 2002 by Ella Fontanals Cisneros and her family to foster cultural exchange among the visual arts. CIFO is dedicated to the support of emerging and mid-career contemporary multidisciplinary artists from Latin America, who are challenging the established boundaries that define much of contemporary art today.
The foundation offers Grants and Commissions to contemporary artists from Latin America. Grants are awarded each year to up to six emerging artists and Commissions to up to three mid-career artists whose work is featured in a group exhibition at CIFO Art Space. In addition to supporting artistic production, CIFO manages the Ella Fontanals-Cisneros Collection, a growing and world renowned collection of contemporary art.

February 14 – March 15, 2014
Opening Reception: Friday, February 14, 8–10
Steve Turner Contemporary is pleased to present Plegaria Muda (Silent Prayer), a performance and solo exhibition by Carlos Martiel. The performance will take place in the upstairs gallery on Friday, February 14 between 8 and 10 pm. Martiel will position himself in the middle of the room where thin strands of nylon will be sewn into his body that will tautly extend to the walls of the gallery where they will be attached. Bells emitting varying sounds will be attached to the nylon. While Martiel will strive to remain motionless, his inevitable involuntary movements will trigger the chimes. When the gallery re-opens on Tuesday, February 18, it will feature a photograph and a two channel video of the performance along with the nylon strands that previously held Martiel in place.
