An Interpretation of the Sonnet of the Stars by Jesus "Bubu" Negron. Requiem by Emilio Chapela. Shake It Out! by Nuria Montiel
An Interpretation of the Sonnet of the Stars by Jesus "Bubu" Negron is an exhibition centered on Esteban Valdes, a concrete poet born in Mexico and raised in Puerto Rico. In a multimedia installation, Negron reinterpreted one of his best-known poems into an action, a video and a sculptural carpet. In "Requiem", Emilio Chapela restructured the system of organization in the library of David Alfaro Siqueiros and treats this replica as a new strategy to navigate the muralist's collection. Maintaining the original categories, Chapela created exact copies of all the books in wood. Respectively, the colors red, blue and yellow located on the spine of each book represent Art, Politics and Others. "Shake It Out!" is performance series by Nuria Montiel inspired by photographs of protests in the Americas part of the Siqueiros Archive. A production for Proyecto Fachada that questions the purpose of the "poetics of discontent" in contemporary society. Opening wednesday 10th july h 7p.m.
