The body scars take us almost always down to some point in our own existence. They drive us down to a history that marked us, much or little, but they its existence serves as an evocation to an anecdote or a memory. “The skin of the children of Gaia” makes reference to precisely that force of the human body to express an identity, a way of being and feeling.
The Spanish curator Amador Griño is this project’s ideologist in which two fellow countrywomen's discourses get together: photographer Isabel Muñoz, with a series of photos and Sculpture Maribel Doménech.
“The used material conditions me because it can hurt”, said Maribel to describe her daily work. She uses electric wires to weave clothing to the middle age style. The one shown at Holguin Art Center weighs some 250 kilos. “It is kind of a body discourse where it can be seen in its emptiness”, Griño added.
Isabel shows, in her large-sized photos, the naked body, painted, marked, according to two Ethiopian tribe’s member’s idiosyncrasy, for whom the skin stands as an idol.
The opening of the exhibit took place at the Holguín Art Center has already been filed as a great event of cultural integration. It has been possible thanks to a joint work of Holguín Council of Visual Arts and its national homologue as well as the Spanish Embassy in Cuba and the CEASEX.
This travelling exhibit has toured the entire South America and the Caribbean and lands in Cuban through Holguín, where it will remain till March 5th when it will be taken to Santiago de Cuba and Havana.
