Reviews
Julio Suárez
“Nothing is more disquieting than the ceaseless movement of that which appears to be motionless”. The phrase belongs to the French philosopher Gilles Deleuze (1925-1995). Julio Suárez (1947) rediscovers it on his clear and vertiginous mirrorlike compositions.
Betsabée Romero
The traveling retrospective of Betsabée Romero, curated by Julián Zugazagoitia, is an impeccable show in terms of the balance between the challenging baroque style of this Mexican artist who appropriates the rituals of popular aesthetics or combines the traces of pre-Hispanic iconography with participative forms of social irony, and a mise-en-scène that does not fear the void of space.
Antonia Guzmán
To a great extent, the safeguard for attempting the use of a lan- guage that represents the feminine has been the aggressiveness of proposals which, due to their strong content of emotional or social violence, cannot be considered “weak”.
Migraciones: Mirando al Sur
The exhibition Migraciones: Mirando al Sur Arte, organized by the Spanish Cultural Center in Miami and curated by Rosina Cazali, inverted the perspective of the migratory movement in the continent that involves multitudes moving northward, and performed a sort of cultural investigation of these crossings looking southward, to the artistic practices of Central America.
Milton Becerra
In its Miami venue, Durban Segnini Gallery presented “ALE’YA” (book of the principle of written truths), the solo show of Venezuelan artist Milton Becerra (Colón, 1951), who has been liv- ing and working in Paris since 1980.

Pablo Bronstein

Lydia Rubio
The title of Lydia Rubio’s exhibition at the Beaux-Arts des Amériques, L’Étrangère (The Foreigner), evokes the title of Albert Camus’s famous book, although the artist obtained inspiration from a poem by Marjorie Agosin.
Nicola Costantino
With the strength of an atavism that brings intense emotions to the imaginary of contemporary art, the violence that pervades the history of Argentina seems to resurface in the work of artist Nicola Costantino.
Luiz Hermano
When I asked Luiz Hermano what he thinks about while weaving his complex threads of wire that bind together all sorts of prosaic objects, his answer was that he meditates.
Betsabeé Romero
The Mexican visual artist Betsabeé Romero1 expresses herself through different artistic mediums – painting, photography, collage, serigraphy, sculpture – but her favorite material is the car and all the parts and accessories that constitute it.
Javier Silva-Meinel
Based on the most traditional photography techniques and devoid of any kind of theatrical trick, the images portrayed by photographer Javier Silva-Meinel (Peru, 1949) manage to convey a powerful emotional and aesthetic energy.
