A SaludArte Project Foundation at Mana Wynwood
Miami, Florida – November 2016 – The SaludArte Foundation is pleased to present the Global South: Visions and Revisions, a new art exhibition that will be held at Mana Wynwood. Visions and Revisions, from the Brillembourg Capriles Collection, will be exhibited parallel to Pinta Miami from November 30th to December 4th, and in the context of Art Basel Miami Beach.
True to its mission of recovering lost chapters and little-studied art history, the exhibition builds a dialogue on geometric abstraction in both Latin America and Ibero-America and breaks chronological linearity, bringing together works of different times and generating new approaches to the way its story has been told in the Global North. A group of works will be displayed through performances with music and dance collective Lisarco of Spain, inviting participative interaction and demonstrating the art, philosophy and mission of the SaludArte Foundation, which is to facilitate and promote artistic processes for all persons without boundaries or limitations of any kind.
“One of the objectives of the collection is to transform perception thresholds and interdisciplinary vision of art as a gateway to the social and personal development of the human being,” said Tanya Brillembourg Capriles.
Gary Tinterow, director of the Museum of Fine Art, Houston, stated “The Brillembourg Capriles collection spans the breadth and richness of artistic expression of Latin American teachers throughout the twentieth century. Many of them have rarely been seen in the United States and we have a unique opportunity to see several masterpieces in a single exposure.” This Statement of Gary Tinterow’s was made during the inauguration of Intersecting Modernities in 2013 and can be repeated and amplified in the curatorial proposal. The Global South will also show the work of pioneers forgotten or just recently rescued as well as contemporary artists of this century that explore new ways related to the social content of geometric abstraction.
