Several contemporary works from the permenant collection have snuck their way into this historical display of treasures from the vault. The purpose of including these special pieces is to create symbolic, iconographic, and thematic links thereby augmenting the visitor experience. Hanging contemporary works adjacent historical works is becoming more commonplace in museums today. The subtle presentation of these unexpected guests is intended to leave it to you to discover, interpret, and learn through new associations. However, by virtue of the color, composition, and subject matter, these contemporary works certianly stand out and draw attention, providing you the opportunity to approach the art in your own way. div.

The work consist boards with red LED lights in the form of hearts silently blinking Morse code messages. The LED panel blinks a plea that might have come from a jilted lover: "Why are you leaving me?", " What did I do wrong?" "What can I do to make you stay?". The heart shape being used in this project is sentimental; its relationship to advertising and symbolic meaning is widespread. Having this heart placed visibly in the window is meant to be a literal representation of the life of the building itself. The coded voice of the rejected building is appealing to the community for help, and in this way I am creating a conversation between the passersby and the building, in the hope finding a tenant. The generation of this dialogue serves to utilize what before was an empty, lonesome space.

Francisco Nuez paints abstract portraits. Powerful faces furtively emerge beneath strong slashes of vibrant paint against starkly composed canvases. The abstract and the figurative are blended with a sort of minimalism where the drawing plays a more leading role while there is less importance for the identity of the portrayed. Yet the faces are still powerful, full of energy and depth. Jairo Alfonso balances objects and curios in tippy stacks in his coffee and ink drawings. They animated into his video installation, a collective montage of small monuments dedicated to his Cuban experience. Dalvis Tuya's works involve taking a step back to see the full picture emerge, and a step forward to see the tiny, repeated patterns of smaller images that form the whole. The full effect of their works together comprises small peeks into the larger experience and challenges of being nurtured in this legendarily esoteric nation. div. Event Details.
