Cuba - Biennale Arte 2015

The Republic of Cuba Pavilion takes part to the 56th International Art Exhibition, la Biennale di Venezia with the exhibition El artista entre la individualidad y el contexto curated by Jorge Fernández Torres e Giacomo Zaza. Four Cuban artists Luis Gómez Armenteros, Susana Pilar Delahante Matienzo, Grethell Rasúa, and Celia-Yunior along with four international ones Lida Abdul, Olga Chernysheva, Lin Yilin, and Giuseppe Stampone have the occasion to highlight the imaginary and reflexive range of the artist, precariously balanced between the distinctive poles of individuality and the context in which they happen to be working.
The exhibition underlines the artist’s ability to imagine and reflect among the different individuality and contexts in which he/she lives and works. El artista entre la individualidad y el contexto leads us to reflect not only on microsystems and the Cuban context, but also on global space, the digital network, global economic processes, and the anthropological and ontological area of interest in geographical areas such as Russia, China, and Afghanistan.
