Catálogo: ‘Apertura: Photography in Cuba today’ [2015]

Con prólogo y selección de Guillermina de Ferrari, aquí los dejo con este buen recorrido a través de las visualidades cubanas realizado en el Chazen Museum of Art en 2015.

«This exhibition features art that significantly manipulates the photographic image at any of its production stages, altering at least one of the medium’s basic premises: bi-dimensionality, co-presence of subject and object, the fact that it is printed on paper or other surface. We find collages that use fragments of old photographs, objects composed of piles of photographs, juxtaposed or superimposed photographs, all of which create the illusion of seeing time unfold in a single surface. Sometimes artists change the material condition of a photograph by printing images on material other than paper or by displacing the visual aspect of photography to other senses. By transcending the original, constitutive premises of the medium, any contemporary photograph is an invitation to ponder what it means to create, print, and look at a given image. In all these cases, photography is doing something new while commenting on the possibilities of photography to speak otherwise».
