Sexypink - Renaissance and Resistance.

This Performance piece by recent Maestro Dobel Latinx Art Prize 2023 Awardee Carlos Martiel (Cuban) reflects the great painting of St Sebastian by Andrea Mantegna (1459) Martiel uses his black body unironically in an Italian setting to bring home the sacrifice and martyrdom faced by those constantly oppressed and murdered for causes against inhumanity to man.

Mantegna chose to stand St.Sebastian up in a classical Christlike pose. Martiel chooses the fetal position to advance the action of the impaling just as dramatically.

[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. »

Sexypink - Born in 1830 in Bilbao, Víctor Patricio de Landaluze (1828 - 1889) was a Spanish born painter active for much of his career in Cuba, Landaluce received a careful education, which included learning several languages. For a time he resided in Paris. His presence in Cuba was recorded around the year 1850. He is the best-known Cuban practitioner of costum brismo, depicting Cuba peasants (guajiros), landowners, and slaves. He taught at a the Academy of Fine Arts of San Alejandro in Havana, and served as its director. He opposed Cuban independence, an attitude reflected in his work; nevertheless his paintings provide a valuable view of nineteenth-century Cuban society. His works also depict a somewhat idealized view of plantation life.

His first work consisted in the illustration of the book "The Cubans painted by themselves". In 1862 he founded the satirical and cartoon newspaper Don Junípero and in 1881 he illustrated the work Tipos y Costumbres de la Isla de Cuba. Several of his works, including "Three Kings Day in Havana", are in the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes de La Habana.

“Carl got a Minimalist trial.’’

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.
