THE LATEST TOUR AT DA2 OF THE LUCIANO MÉNDEZ SÁNCHEZ CONTEMPORARY CUBAN ART COLLECTION
The DA2 hosts the last stage of the itinerancy of the Luciano Méndez Sánchez Contemporary Cuban Art Collection, a cycle of exhibitions that the collection started in 2019 in Spain in this institution and that reflects, through different curatorial lines, the realities and attitudes around contemporary art in Cuba.
Bitácora de una travesía inconclusa, curated by Ana Gabriela Ballate Benavides and Yadira de Armas Rodriguez, is the fourth exhibition of the collection hosted by the Salamanca museum. As in its predecessors Un viaje de ida y vuelta, Cantos de griot. Imágenes y espiritualidad afrocubanas and Vintage Souvenir (or how everything solid vanishes into thin air), the Luciano Mendez Sanchez Contemporary Cuban Art Collection serves as a material skeleton for the different points of view that come together around one of the most relevant geographies in the Latin American and world panorama.
With a broad representation of works and artists, including some of the more than 150 new works in the DA2 collection, the exhibition updates and increases, with that fourth curatorial line, the perspectives on the social, cultural and economic realities of the island and its people, in addition to putting the focus on the aesthetic possibilities that have been shaping the identity of the most current Cuban art. Therefore, Bitácora de una travesía inconclusa can be considered a proposal that moves between the emotional and the visual, the intangible and the palpable, but also invites the viewer to reflect on the processes of transformation.
Bitácora de una travesía inconclusa can be seen until February 16 at DA2 Domus Artium 2002, avenida de la Aldehuela s/n, Salamanca (Spain).

Rutas relacionales (Relational Routes) is the long-term collective with which the Lucía Mendoza gallery celebrates its tenth anniversary and with which it intends to raise awareness, through the work of about 40 artists, about several of the current thematic and philosophical axes, those that trace their need from the relationship of mankind with its environment.

In an art industry that increasingly advocates following the lines established by cultural policies, it is always comforting to return to thesis themes, to environments that draw from social and historiographic sources, of course, but also from myths and a well-understood anthropology. You can go deeper in subtitles and lines or you can put together a skeleton, but the overview can also be a reward these days.

Mercedes Azpilicueta (La Plata, Argentina, 1981) lands with her dancing tables at the Centro de Creación Contemporánea de Andalucía (C3A) in an exhibition curated by Verónica Rossi and Jimena Blázquez.
