[Outsoil - forms in exile in the collection of the National Center for Fine Arts]

The Cnap dedicates the second "Zoom" of its collection to exiled artists, inviting curators Estelle Nabeyrat and Pedro de Llano. Discover a new artist each week!

"This selection of 20 works is based on work started in 2017 as part of the Cnap Curatorial Research Fellowship." The title is inspired by the Cnap collection’s “above ground” condition, defined as a “without walls” background, originally intended for circulation.

This survey identified an unreleased set of 26 contemporary artists (1945 to the present). Mostly exiled in France -, they have left the Latin American and Caribbean territories.

Crossing the history of the Cnap’s collection and that of its works with various sources from the social science and the history of art, “Hors-sol” initially sought to propose an updated definition of the term “exile”.

Including artists who have left authoritarian regimes, post-colonial conflict zones as well as skeptics and disappointments of the Cuban Revolution, the different forms of exile encountered range from political exile to the quest for freedom, necessary for artistic expression. The variety of artist profiles, their journeys have allowed to clarify an intersectional problem, which has enriched this research.

This selection, drawn from the corpus we have constructed, takes into account the diversity of forms of exile related to socio-political problems and translates various degrees of liberticidal pressure exerted on artists. "Hors-sol" also offers, throughout the history of the Cnap acquisitions, a unique reading of the policy of welcoming artists exiled in France. »

Open opinions on the Mendieta/Andre trial.

Sexypink - Arguable the equivalent in sensationalism before the O J trial of the century decades later. The suicide or murder of Cuban American Artist Ana Mendieta continues to leave us in doubt about what actually happened.

`Sexypink~Belkis Ayón Manso (1967-1999) Cuban (thanks earthquake)

Belkis Ayón Manso (January 23, 1967 – September 11, 1999) was a Cuban artist and lithographer. Her work was based on Afro-Cuban religion, combining the myth of Sikan and the traditions of the Abakuá, a men’s secret society. She was considered a pioneer in the printmaking world as her prints and collographs feature dark silhouettes and ghostly-white figures. Manso uses haunting imagery such as snakes, goats, and empty almond-shaped eyes that stare out at the viewer. The Cuban printmaker mysteriously took her own life in 1999.

Belkis Ayón Manso studied at San Alejandro Academy in Havana, Cuba (1986) and received her Bachelor’s degree in Engraving from the Higher Institute of Art (ISA), Havana, Cuba (1991). She held residencies at the Tyler School of Art, Temple University, Philadelphia, PA; the Bronski Center, Philadelphia College of Art, Philadelphia, PA; and Benson Hall Gallery, Rhode Island School of Design, RI. Manso has been exhibited internationally in several museums and galleries. She has also participated in several Biennials such as the Havana Biennal, Bharat Bhavan International Biennial of Prints, India; The First International Print Biennial, Maastricht, Holland, and the San Juan Biennial of Latin American and Caribbean Engraving, among others. The artist’s work is included in several collections worldwide, such as the National Museum of Fine Arts, Havana Cuba; the National Museum of Engraving, Buenos Aires, Argentina; the Afrika Museum, Berg en Dal, Holland; the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, CA; and the Museum of Modern Art, New York, NY, among others. She most recently had her first U.S. museum retrospective of her work at the Fowler Museum at UCLA, Los Angeles, CA (2016).
