Moisés Finalé: rebuilding a site for dialogue

Galería La Nave reopened its doors to continue the process of creating of Moisés Finalé and the artists invited to his Sitio en Construcción, which took place on April 11 as part of the proposals of the XIII Biennial of Havana.

Every week, consecrated artists, young creators, students, musicians and art critics gather in this facility belonging to Genesis Art Galleries to continue this experimentation project with diverse techniques and materials such as asphalt, fire, beeswax, jute, corroded metals or acrylic.

Twelve participants integrate this adventure that will be exhibiting and rebuilding the entire Biennial: Rubén Rodríguez, Nelson Villalobos, Alberto Lescay, Alejandro Lescay, Eduardo Rubén, Rafael Cáceres, Maden Morgan, Lucía Zalbidea, Rosa Cabrera, Frank Piña, Yasiely González, Ricardo Calle , Yamilé Tabío and Pablo Villalobo.

On this idea, which has its genesis perhaps in 2015 since his visit to the Center Pompidou in Paris, Finalé said that on this occasion he presents a piece made with four hands: "It is a work I did with Alfonso X, which harmonizes with the rest of those made by the painters that I invited to the Biennial to work together. It was an interactive project, inclusive, participatory, with solutions and work aids. "

He also commented that they frequently change the idea of ​​the exhibition and the montage because "this site is kept under construction, that work that is done and will be transformed until the end of the Biennial. There are pieces that are completely finished and others that are missing a bit, but then at another time will be more advanced. That's the idea".

Among the protagonists is Lucía Zalbidea, the only foreign artist (Spain) who participated, who comments that "When Moisés thought of this interactive project, of bringing together different artistic energies to work individually and collectively, he contacted me about the idea of ​​sharing these techniques together with wax. It has been very good to intervene with other artists and experiment with different materials as he usually does in his work. "

Sitio en Construcción is also a kind of workshop for Finalé to develop a monumental work of ten meters during this time. The Nave will be a breeding ground to illustrate -construct- the ten panels that are installed with the help of all the hands summoned, in a kind of reinvention of its own history.
