ARTIST FEATURE & INTERVIEW WITH CARLOS MARTIEL

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.”

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.

Performance DICTADURA (DICTATORSHIP) | Carlos Martiel

nov 062015

Durational performance produced as part of the group exhibition Time Sensitive curated by Jesús Fuenmayor.

A

December 2 – 6, 2015.

A

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, letanías corporales.

Por Andrés Isaac Santana
Especial/el Nuevo Herald

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.
