Cremata Gallery proudly presents ” DEMI: Drawings”. This exhibition will present 35 works on paper and five sculptures by the well-known artist DEMI. This is one of the few times that the artist will exhibit her works on paper, which is a part of her work that has not been shown as often as her well known paintings.
DEMI’s works on paper exemplifies the possibilities of the medium on her own terms. With color pencils, various pens, watercolor, acrylic and ink, DEMI’s lines move across the paper from the subtle and delicate to the harsh and strong. These works are composed in an open and flexible manner, in them drawing becomes an adventure without dogmas whose lyricism and freedom reminds us of the best of Paul Klee.

ESPECIAL/ EL NUEVO HERALD
La exhibición Games in the Dark, de Gladys Triana, reúne en Hardcore Contemporary Art Space su más reciente video, In Solitude, y una selección de cuatro de las series fotográficas realizadas desde el 2008. A lo largo de su larga trayectoria, esta artista cubana (Camagüey, 1934) residente en Nueva York, ha renovado incesantemente su lenguaje hasta desembocar en la fotografía como medio de invención de un lenguaje para la trascendencia.
En su práctica, Triana transforma pequeños objetos cotidianos encontrados en irreconocibles formas escultóricas que acaban refiriendo a una dimensión ontológica, relacionada con el ser y con la noción del cambio. Construye situaciones fotográficas ambiguas y abstractas -pese a la concreción de los elementos usados- donde los juegos de la luz y las sombras protagonizan diversas puestas en escena que llevan al espectador a observar de otro modo la representación de eventos correlacionados con la dramática existencial.

Opening at Hardcore Art Contemporary Space March 10th, 2012: Gladys Triana “Games in the Dark”, Consuelo Castañeda “Homage to Gego”, Manuela Covini “Silence is the Biggest Crime” and Gabriela Morawetz “Narcissus”.
Continuing on view, two Cintas Foundation Fellows, Gladys Triana and Consuelo Castañeda. In Gladys’ own words: “Games in the Dark” has the quality to play within the simplicity of the background and the figures selected, in a kind of illumination that could evoke a game between fantasy and reality”. Consuelo’s multi media monumental installation continues on view with a VJ session on March 10th.

Paisajes: metaforas de nuestro tiempo de Dennys Matos constituye un gran aporte para el estudio del arte contemporáneo y sus nuevas condiciones de producción y recepción. La propia hibridez del libro donde se mezclan la autobiografía intelectual, la entrevista, la reseña a una exposición y el ensayo crítico, le hace justicia al carácter heteróclito y heterogéneo de los artistas y las prácticas estudiadas en el mismo. Paisajes constituye uno de los mayores aportes al estudio de la cultura poscomunista y desde ya podemos decir que ocupará un lugar prominente entre los grandes textos producidos por los ensayistas cubanos de su generación.

Creative Loafing Atlanta
Cuban-born, Atlanta-based artist offers an effusive to creativity
It’s hard not to rejoice when a longtime Atlanta artist achieves Big Kahuna status with a show at the High Museum. Local artist Radcliffe Bailey scored big in 2011 with his retrospective Memory as Medicine at the museum and is probably still fist-pumping the air after scaling that career hurdle. Now the Cuban-born, Atlanta-based artist Alejandro Aguilera has garnered his own real estate in a more intimate, but still impressive show. About the Modern Spirit is an effusive, life-affirming group hug to human creativity that proves a nice juxtaposition with the neighboring show’s cuckoo-for-color graf-anime of the Brooklyn-based artist Brian Donnelly, aka KAWS.

En el verano de 1994, Willy Castellanos comenzó a ver cómo una oleada intermitente de personas que transportaban balsas, pedazos de madera y gomas de camión en los techos de los automóviles, en bicicletas y sobre sus hombros, se acercaba a las costas del vecindario habanero de Miramar.
Entre los arrecifes de las playitas ubicadas en la primera avenida a la altura de las calles 32 y 34, los balseros construían o les daban los últimos toques a las precarias embarcaciones que los llevarían por el Estrecho de la Florida rumbo al norte.

Is the quintessential “Trans-cultural Spiritual Pilgrim”. He is the archetype traveler whose painterly passages refer to his experiences of mobility and transpassing. Jose in many respects is a modern day Indiana Jones. His trips abroad start off about his encounters and observations jotted down in his journal, followed by dialogue, apprenticeship and ultimately long term friendships. His travels have produced a plethora of spiritual keepsakes, art and even shamans who have become friends for life.

Opening Reception
Thursday, 15 March 2012, 6-8 PM
Drawing from his interest in the supernatural, Hernan Bas’s Occult Contemporary responds to the recent proliferation of the occult in mass media with a presentation of new paintings depicting a representation of the devil based on traditional texts and folklore. Playing on the term “Adult Contemporary,” used to describe a light genre of popular music, the title of Bas’s show plays on this act of genre-fication which has made the presence of the occult and supernatural in books, movies, and t.v. accessible to children and young adults, extinguishing any aura of danger or taboo that the occult once held, and consequently, resulting in varying representations and visual depictions of the devil that stray from those detailed in real folklore.

This Will Have Been: Art, Love & Politics in the 1980s covers the period from 1979 to 1992. During this era, the political sphere was dominated by the ideas of former US President Ronald Reagan and British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, the music scene was transformed by punk and the birth of hip-hop, and our everyday lives were radically altered by a host of technological developments, from the Sony Walkman and the ATM to the appearance of MTV and the first personal computers. In the United States, the decade opened with an enormous anti-nuclear protest in New York’s Central Park and closed with mass demonstrations against the government’s slow response to the AIDS crisis. This exhibition attempts to make sense of what happened to the visual arts in the United States during this tumultuous period.
It includes the work of Cuban American Artist Felix Gonzalez-Torres

How long can you keep the wolf from the door? A powerful title for a powerful piece of art. Conceptual artist Rubén Torres Llorca is considered a living master. He works in many mediums and creates his installation art sets entirely by hand. His incredibly detailed paintings weave romantic film noir novels in constructed spaces that resound with quietness, impending drama and leave the audience riveted. He is akeen to the master of suspense himself, Alfred Hitchcock.
