Carlos Martiel, letanías corporales.

Desde que en el 2013 recibiera el Premio Arte Laguna de Performance en Venecia, a propósito de su obra Prodigal Son, 2010, el discurso estético del joven artista cubano Carlos Martiel (La Habana, 1989), se ha instalado en los principales circuitos del arte internacional asistido por fuertes resortes de legitimación y de prestigio. Su próxima intervención, que tendrá lugar en Mandragoras Art Space, en la ciudad de Nueva York y bajo el título Ascensión, se inscribe dentro de esa línea de insubordinaciones y desobediencias desenfrenadas tan propias a su proyecto. Se trata de una puesta en escena francamente escalofriante, respaldada por una altísima cuota de extrañamiento y dolor. El cuerpo se traviste en soporte discursivo de un cuestionamiento ético y humanista acerca de dónde residen los límites (presumibles) entre dos sujetos antagónicos y cercanos a un tiempo: el héroe y el asesino.

Carlos Martiel: The Extremist Of Performance Art

Mar 192015

Agape Charmani for Art-Sheep

A

Carlos Martiel is a Cuban performance artist, whose work could be described as an aggressive comment on the ethics, history and behavior of the world.

A

His provocative and raw performances explore the nature of existence, social barriers and cultural traditions. His work is a form of disagreement against the established values, through physical expressions that remind one of rituals and ceremonial procedures. Commenting on issues such as censorship or persecution for cultural or political reasons, especially in his country, the artist sees his performances as a response to the way society and history have treated the minorities and the outsiders.

The Dead Weight Performance Series

Curated by Caroline Picard

A

The Dead Weight Performance Series will present two evenings of performance by four invited artists, bookending the inaugural exhibition group show The New [New] Corpse, at Sector 2337. The exhibition regards a return to the figure. This trend echoes the earlier “crisis of the figure” theme in representational painting, while also resonating with newer questions of posthumanism, capitalist critiques, and the transformation of hierarchies, precipitating a “return” of a figure that seems distorted, grotesque, modified, or emphatically absent

CARLOS MARTIEL, SENTENCE

(Cannonball’s Commissioning Program)

A

On the afternoon and evening of September 12, Cuban-born and Cannonball Artist-in-Residence Carlos Martiel will produce Sentence, a new performance that reacts to his unnerving encounter with the urban and social experience of contemporary Miami, particularly in the neighborhood of Overtown. Known for performances that explore the coercive interactions between the individual and the state, particularly as these revolve around race and Afro-Atlantic heritage, Martiel has shifted slightly the space of his concerns: from identity to concrete economic conditions; from autobiography to social narrative; from the kind of inscription on the body that a centralized state produces to another one that results from the more diffuse forces of economic disparity
