The Visual Arts Development Center (CDAV is the Spanish acronym) announces the opening of two exhibition projects on Friday, March 21, at 5 p.m.
Artist Yornel Martinez’s The Pure Land is set to be exhibited at halls Zaguan and Almacen. The display has been described by its curator Caridad Blanco as a journey whose essential foundations lie on the poetry of a group of creators that dreamed about Asia – T.S.Eliot, Ezra Pound, A. Artaud, Julian del Casal, Jose Lezama Lima and Severo Sarduy, among others – and its landscape, closely linked to the philosophy, history and the world of knowledge in the broadest sense.
On the other hand, artist Duniesky Martin’s Memoria Perfecta will be showcased at L hall, and it stands as a reflection on the contextual adaptations of heroism and the relative character of its values, including such components as the collective imaginary, aesthetic paradigms, cultural stereotypes and means of communication.
The Visual Arts Development Center is perched on the corner of San Ignacio and Teniente Rey, near the Old Square. Both exhibitions are going to be open to the public through Friday, April 18 on the regular gallery hours: Tuesdays to Saturdays, 10 a.m. - 4 p.m.
