Luxurious proposals at Fine Arts Museum during the 12th Havana Biennial

By: Adalys Pérez

The proposals included in the program of collateral exhibitions of the 12th Havana Biennial, being arranged by the Fine Arts National Museum have been considered as valuable by their generational and aesthetic aspects, as well as by their diversity of nationalities. This event will start on May 22 through June 22.

For this occasion, an art exhibition by Sergio Hernandez, one of the most important artists of contemporary visual arts in Mexico, will be opened next May 21, at the Universal Art Building. Two days later, another exhibit with one-hundred works from the Bronx Museum of Arts in New York will be opened to viewers in this same building.

On the other hand, the Cuban Art Building will house from May 23 six projects by Cuban artists, covering a wide range of samples that go from recent works by devoted Tomás Sánchez, up to pieces made for the occasion by the inexperienced Luis Enrique López.

Among these, we will have the exhibitions by Alexandre Arrechea, an artist in his heydays; that of Raúl Cordero, a pioneer on the video and video-installation formats; Wilfredo Prieto's, with his controversial meaning-significant dichotomy, and that one of the not so well remembered Gustavo Pérez Monzón, representative figure of Cuban painting from the nineteen-eighties.

As highlighted to the press by Ana Cristina Perera, director of the National Fine Arts Museum (in Spanish, MNBA), workers and specialists of this important center of Cuban culture have done their very best during the last months as regards to the organization of these exhibitions, thus contributing to both, the success of the 12^th Havana Biennial, and the satisfaction of all those who visit us by these days.
