Havana/The Acacia gallery presents the group exhibition The edge of thingsan exhibition that brings together a large list of contemporary Cuban artists linked to different generations, visual languages and areas of experimentation within the art of the Island. The project has the support of Génesis Galerías de Arte and proposes a tour of works where painting, photography, installation, drawing and other formats associated with contemporary Cuban art converge.
Among the participants are Noslen Argilagos, Aluan Argüelles, Daniel Collazo, Yasiel Elizagaray, José E. Fuentes (Jeff), Dayron Gallardo, Eduardo R. García, Roberto Guerra, Osmel Herrera, Frank Mujica, Alejandro Munilla, Giselle Lucía, Darena Pedroso, Lisandra Ramírez, Theratos, René Rodríguez, Linet Sánchez, Omar Tirado, José Ángel Toirac and Carlos Zorrilla. The diversity of names turns the exhibition into a kind of partial map of current Cuban art, where artists with a consolidated career coexist alongside emerging creators who have gained visibility in galleries and alternative circuits inside and outside the country.
The edge of things It also alludes to the limits between the intimate and the social, between materiality and the symbol, or between permanence and wear and tear, recurring themes in much of recent Cuban artistic production. In that sense, the exhibition promises a dialogue between personal poetics and shared concerns, crossed by memory, precariousness, urban space and the tensions of contemporary life.
Founded in 1991, the Acacia Gallery has established itself as one of the most active spaces for the promotion of contemporary art in Cuba, with special attention to mid-career artists and new generations.
