Descripción de la Exposición

the harts gallery presents a timely exhibition by some of the most iconic and sought after Cuban artists of today. Historically, Cuba has provided a rich backdrop of visual realities and layered identities for its artists. The geopolitical isolation of the island over the past half-century has brought forth many extraordinary talents in today's art world, whose inspiration draws from their immediate surroundings and innate creative forces as well as global currents, to produce works of outstanding caliber and originality. Through a wide array of mediums and even broader range of perspectives, FUTURE ISLAND brings together the work of Jairo Alfonso, Alexandre Arrechea, Belkis Ayón, Tania Bruguera, Roberto Diago, Carlos Estévez, Carlos Quintana, Sandra Ramos, Fernando Rodríguez and José Toirac. The artists address diverse themes including global economic systems, censorship and self-expression, collective memory, cultural identity, religion, materialism and structures of power in both Cuba and the United States. Thawed relations between the U.S. and Cuba are set to have an enormous impact on the future of Cuban art as well as its value to international collectors, and the harts gallery is thrilled to collaborate with Magnan Metz Gallery of New York to bring this extraordinary view of new Cuban work to our region.
