Video-program dedicated to the french artist artist Daniel Buren

Saturday, May 13, on the occasion of the Month of the French Culture in Cuba, ARTE CONTINUA is pleased to present a video-program dedicated to the French artist Daniel Buren.

 

Daniel Buren (Boulogne-Billancourt, 1938) has marked the last 60 years with interventions, critical texts and public art projects inside and outside the most important art institutions in France and the world. In Havana, in collaboration with Galleria Continua, the artist realized both site-specific works at Centro de Arte Contemporáneo Wifredo Lam and ARTE CONTINUA, as well as public interventions.

 

In ARTE CONTINUA, Buren’s Périmètre - Blanc (1969-2016) paced the perimeter of the former cinema theater Águila de Oro both in 2015, during Havana’s XII Biennial, and, in 2016, as a part of the exhibition Ensemble. Moreover, within Havana’s XII Biennial’s program, Buren intervened 19 doors in Centro Habana and Habana Vieja, and Casa Blanca’s train station.

 

This work, Promenade à La Havane was donated from the artist to the city. In 2015, for Centro de Arte Contemporáneo Wifredo Lam’s exhibition Follia Continua! 25 años de Galleria Continua, the artist submitted Idée pour une salle 4 murs pour el Centro Wifredo Lam de La Habana (2015). The present program will include both the works realized in Cuba, and other works presented by the artist in France, Italy and the United States.

 

ARTE CONTINUA is currently exhibiting Anish Kapoor’s first solo show in Cuba, which is open every day from 10.00 am to 6.00 pm.
