Open Space Gallery Shows Students’ Work
Yanelys Nuñez Leyva
HAVANA TIMES — The works of third year students of the Superior Institute of Art (ISA) are on display at the Espacio Abierto (Open Space) Gallery, located in the Vedado district. A non-culinary inspiration permeates these artistic efforts, which in the words of the catalog are a “collection of contradictions that trigger the will to exhibit.”
On February 8, 2013 the gallery opened its doors for the first part of this show, featuring Evelyn Aguilar, Adrian Curbelo, Marta Borrel, Rigoberto Diaz, Ernesto Garcia, Rolando Gonzalez, Rafael Villares and Miguel A. Machado as exhibitors.
New names were announced on March 14 at the opening of the show’s second phase. These included Samir Bernardez, Laura Carralero, Gabriel Cisneros, Khadis de la Rosa, Camilo Mantilla, Suselle Mendez and Leticia Morejon.
On both occasions, what predominated were combinations of art forms (painting, sculpture, installations, photography and videos).
Curated by artists and teachers Duniesky Martin, Celia Gonzalez and Vanessa Guasch, “Tasajo” aims at being an additional space for the visibility for younger artist.
Immersed in a continuous learning process, these emerging artists are exploring identity, alienation, aesthetic perception, history, and the dichotomies and oppositions of experience and senses, among other human conflicts.
The exhibition will be on display until mid-April, and everyone is invited.
