Exhibition D’DISEGNO. Respuesta cubana!, curated by Concha Fontenla, includes artworks created by over twenty artists related to artistic design –epistemological field that merges the frontiers between design as production mean and knowledge, and art as a way to give expression to aesthetic and conceptual experiences–, and is set to be open on September 20, 8:00 pm in Factoría Habana.
The display’s title refers to the DISEGNO etymology, defined in the 15th century by Alberti as a “plane that was born out of the spirit, and implemented in lines and angles”, drawing, project, prefiguration of “what it will be”, idea and form, a process that supports creation, from its intellectual conception of material concretion. Respuesta cubana is a contribution by Jorge Rodriguez (R10), who, through the poster created for this event, proclaims a “call for creative production”. In order to contextualize this topic, it would be necessary to tackle the present and fertile relation between design as technology and art as practice, as knowledge.
The chosen artists are: Adriana Arronte, Marlén Castellanos, DeKuba, Idania del Río, Daniel DeMilán, Liliam Dooley, Mayelín Guevara, Osvaldo González, Gabriel Lara (Gabo), Celia Ledón, Octavio César Marín, Fabián Muñoz, Gean Moreno, Ernesto Oroza, Nelson Ponce, Eduardo Ponjuán, Roberto Ramos, Luis Ramírez, Yimit Ramírez, Jorge Rodríguez (R10), Edel Rodríguez (Mola), Alejandro Rosales, Eduardo Sarmiento, Eric Silva, José Ángel Toirac, Raúl Valdés (Raupa) and Arantza Vilas.
