Things That
Cannot Be Seen Any Other Way: The Art of Manuel Mendive
Manuel Mendive Hoyo
(Havana, Cuba 1944-) creates paintings, sculptures, and objects that capture
the rhythm of the orishas, ancestral spirits of Africa that are the source of
his imagery. For today's world, Mendive continues to appropriate, transform
and adapt the visual language of Africa as a means of conveying its rich
mythology to a new audience, informed less about its ritual than about its
aesthetics. Curated by Bárbaro MartÃnez-Ruiz.
This exhibition is a
project originally conceived by the Los Angeles Department of Cultural
Affairs in association with the California African American Museum, the
Patricia & Phillip Frost Art Museum at Florida International University,
and Fundación Amistad. Organized by Fundación Amistad.

Humberto
Castro: Tracing Antilles
Cuban-American artist
Humberto Castro executes an artistic journey across the Antilles in an
ever-transforming exhibition that conceptually circumnavigates the islands of
the Caribbean. The artist uses the socio-cultural, historical and political
elements of each island as the conceptual basis for the exhibition. He
focuses on transculturation, migrations and the displacement of human
populations which eventually form peoples, island nations and continents.
