City man: At last I can breathe! No newspapers, no gambling, no one I know!
On his first day he dedicates himself to taking care of the vegetable garden.

On the second day he builds and paints a fence and enjoys himself, feeding the chickens.

On the third day he walks through the fields, in search for flowers and romance, and dedicates himself to fishing.

But during the remaining 27 days, he reads newspapers, plays the domino and goes train spotting, hoping to see a familiar face.

END THE CULTURAL EMBARGO TO PUERTO RICO NOW! KATY AND BEATRIZ FROM LA CENTRAL DENIED USA VISA TO ENTER PUERTO RICO BECAUSE OF BEING COLOMBIANS

CIRCA LABS, CURATED BY PABLO LEON DE LA BARRA IN SAN JUAN, PUERTO RICO

sketches for proposal


Pablo Leon de la Barra’s proposal for CIRCA LABS proposes a laboratory to explore possible cultural scenarios in Puerto Rico, it functions as a kind of Village Fair/Market/Open Museum, where invited galleries, some of the most interesting young contemporary galleries from the American continent, take over containers which become ‘rooms’ of an open air museum which doesn’t exist in Puerto Rico yet. In the space between the containers, a social space is created where different local artists and organizations will create an oasis-activation zone. There will also be a space with hammocks, a bulletin board for cultural proposals for Puerto Rico, a reading area, a hanging painting exhibition and an outdoor cinema. With this, within the art fair CIRCA LABS provides an opportunity to envision future possibilities for cultural life in Puerto Rico and creates a different scenario for market and culture to coexist.

It is it and something else...
curated by Maria Ines Rodriguez

This season, Espacio 1414 presents three exhibitions that propose reflections
on the position of the artist towards the real, a confrontation of what the world
is and what it could be. Both It is It, Swarm and the works selected for the
Painting Room prove the complexity of the contemporary world and the geopolitical,
social and economic implications it entails. The new cartographies of
power that have arisen in the wake of contemporary conflicts, have redefined
new kinds of hierarchies and interests affecting civil society. Whether at a local
or a global level artists generate, through their work, another kind of cultural
construction that questions the universality of notions relating to territory,
totalitarianisms, displacement, belonging or exclusion and, therefore, the limits
of contemporaneity. Based upon the exhibited works, we state that art
continues to be one of the few remaining possibilities we have to create
interstices between terror and escape, room for reflection and discussion that
allows both artists and public to build a critical position towards the context in
which they live.

If, as writer Édouard Glissant pointed out, “the role of artists is to make certain
things visible in the mind and the imaginary so that change can come about”,
we might add that the role of the spectator, in turn, is to assume itself as an
active and emancipated player towards what the artist proposes, so that the
possible change suggested by Glissant can take place.

María Inés Rodríguez.
Curator.
